Tit flock

The garden mega tit flock (70+ birds) keep passing though the Silver Birch outside the office window- it would be rude to not take a few photos- canopy tower hide style. 
 








The moth trap has been a bit quiet recently with night temperatures falling to around 12-14 C. Best of the catch last night was Six-striped Rustic (above) and Oak Processionary (below) (Not Oak Processionary, it's a Pale Eggar- see comments, thanks Stewart!)

Hi Peter, your Oak Processionary looks like a Pale Eggar?

That would make sense as I couldn’t make it fit with just the two lines (looked more like pine processionary but that would be impossible ) - yes so pale eggar makes sense - lifer ! Thanks Stewart
