Moth Day

I decided to have a look at Bowling Green Marsh this morning without knowing that they were having a Bug Day there for the kids and I got there just as they were going through some moths that they had trapped and I managed to see a few new ones for me , with Gold Spot , Brimstone Moth , Flounced Rustic , Six-Striped Rustic , Small Square-Spot and Mint Moth .
Also seen was Burnished Brass , Heart and Dart , Square-Spot Rustic and Large Yellow Underwing .

I then went down to have a look around the top fields at Gore Lane in Exmouth and on the way there I came across a field full of cows , so I parked up and had a look at them and I found around 10 juvenile Yellow Wagtail feeding among them , my first ones of the autumn .
