Lee Mount 28th / 29th May

Last night (28th)
Just one moth of interest - the bats were busy trying to take some of the others that were flying around ! Only had one of these previously but think I have the correct identification (?)
May Highflyer

A new one for me here this morning (29th) - totally baffled me at first (it doesn't take much)!!


Chocolate-tip

Also this morning
Buff-tip x 1
Brown House-moth x 2 (one in the water but, I pulled it out and it flew straight off - pretty resilient some of these moths !)
Garden Carpet x 1
Elephant Hawkmoth x 1
Heart and Dart x 3
Bee Moth x 3
Cinnabar x 1
Micro to check later - Notocelia cynosbatella (Ithink)

 Buff-tip


Elephant Hawkmoth

Notocelia cynosbatella (TBC)
