The first two geese eggs hatched last night (3 days earlier than expected) so I was up until midnight and up again around 5am to sort them out. As it was unexpected it meant improvising until we could get into the shed loft and for when the farm shop was open this morning but all good now.
The warm weather continues and the moth year list is now on 293 (611 all time garden list).
Powdered Knot-horn, Delplanqueia dilutella is the closest I can get to this (awaiting verification). 250623 update- yes most likely according to CMR team but ideally a first record would need confirmation by gen dent.
White-triangle Slender
Cypress Tip Moth
Meanwhile in the mini-zoo turns out the other Ghost Mantis is also a female - it did this amazing transformation yesterday. They don't live long (only a year or so) so I've asked our Exotics supplier if we can get a mature adult male so we can try breeding them.
