Three days of delicious sunshine were followed by a genuinely warm night on Wednesday and the result was by far the best residents' list in the moth trap. Above we have Streamer, Early Tooth-striped, Least Black Arches, Frosted Green, Muslin, Nut-tree Tussock, Chestnut, Pale Prominent and Early Thorn.
The second picture shows Swallow Prominent, Lunar Marbled Brown, Clouded Drab, Early Grey and Oak-tree Pug. Meanwhile we enjoyed a lovely visit to the village open gardens in Kencot, near Lechlade, where we spotted these flies happily swarming on the dung of the Manor Farm's spotted pigs. Can you guess their name?
Yes, the Yellow Dung Fly. Vivid yellow they are indeed. Vastly outweighing them up above was another sort of flying object, a vast transporter aircrraft from nearby RAF Brize Norton.
