A few moths this morning.

Monday 14th November 2022.

Two of the five Rusty-dot Pearl moths I had this morning in my garden.

A foggy grim start to the day with heavy cloud overhead and more rain predicted for later this afternoon. It was around 13 degrees first thing this morning, but at least it was dry. Again, not many moths around the moth box today with Rusty-dot Pearls being the most numerous moth with 5 individuals in and around the moth box. The only macro moths were 2 Double-striped Pugs.

Today's moths were the following:

• 2 Double-striped Pug
• 5 Rusty-dot Pearl
• 1 Beautiful Plume
• 1 Light Brown Apple Moth. 

Sadly, nothing much overhead bar a Greenfinch of which I did not see. In Hampshire this morning, a Red-throated Diver was off the Lifeboat Station by the harbour entrance near Sandy Point and 2 Black-necked Grebes were still off the Oyster Beds within Langstone Harbour. One of the ‘Lazee Birders’ went for the Great Grey Shrike at Black Down, but there was no sign of the bird all day.
