The Old Vic- more early Spring moths

The garden moth year list is now on 27 with a few new additions this week. 

Three Siskins going over were the first for the year for the garden too. There are now two Rook nests in the nascent rookery and at least two singing Chiffchaffs now. Five Fieldfares in the week were one of few sightings this year. 

Recent additions to the mini-zoo include Sand Sifting Starfish, Atlantic Anemone and Cleaner Wrasse.

A nicely marked Clouded Drab
One of the Clothes moths. tinea sp. Seems to have a dark brown head and weak black marks on the wings so could be Common Clothes moth or Case-bearing Clothes moth.
