The Daily Moth 1,157. It looks like Spurge Hawk-moth is cementing its grasp on UK soil. Double figures were caught at an Essex site last week & multiples in Suffolk too. It’s as pink as an Elephant underneath & as boldly marked above as a Bedstraw or Striped. #MuchAdoAboutMothing

A barely fleged, beautiful and rather aberrant Icterine Warbler (Hippolais icterina). Such odd yellow plumage is usually caused by a melanin deficiency in the bird. #birdringing #birdbanding
