A few bits of bobs in last few days including a few NFY moths and year tick birds including Yellowhammer flying over, Curlew over the garden, Water Rail on the noc-mig and also Barn and Tawny Owls. Ebird year list here.
Oak Beauty
Small Quaker (right) and a bit of Common Quaker variation
A bit of Clouded Drab variation (one on left might be Lead-coloured Drab, waiting for reply from CMR) Update 290322- the Irecord validator agrees with LCD but not consensus on opinion (see comments)
Satellite- a new for year
This male Pheasant is now a daily feature
A flyover Yellowhammer
Barn Owl calling- was around most of night so might be breeding locally (in Sheep Field?)
Curlew flying over

Hi Pete re the potential LCD, the rusty smudges though faint on the sub terminal line look like Clouded Drab to me. All Cds have them regardless of colour forms...
Thanks Stewart- quite a size variation
Yes Ive had some CDs that seem stunted no bigger than my thumb nail in length. I think moths at the end of the flight season seen to throw out oddities, Ive noticed this with a few species...
