A few highlights from the Warndon garden in last few days have been an obvious best ever show of
Twin-spotted Quakers.

A quick visit to nearby Trench Wood NR on Tuesday afternoon in bright sunshine and along the main track from the car park to the central clearing.

With the intention of seeing Orange Underwings! Six moths immediately alighting on the bare ground were actually
Light Orange Underwings - a species which it seems, prefers lower levels on warm days. Not that surprising as the mature Aspens were in full flower. I used to look for this moth in early April but it seems it is out early this year and despite scanning the tops of several mature birches, no sign of its cousin that afternoon - so perhaps that was out in February this year and gone over already.
