As the sun (yes, we do see it occasionally) goes down it becomes the turn of the night shift out on the marsh. Tonight we hold our first Bat Walk of the year....but it is not just bats that come out to feed. A walk around the wildlife garden the other evening revealed many moths nectaring on the remaining buddhlia flowers using their long tongues to suck the sugary water from the tiny trumpets.
Mark Hart captured these great shots.
This one looks like a Buff Tip but without the buff tip.... any help please?
A transluscent Mother of Pearl
Brimstone
Silver Y .... a common migrant this time of year and equaly at home in the daylight.
So why not get out in your garden after dark with a torch and see who is down your local nectar pub...?
