New Role

From this morning i became an official Wildlife Survey Assistant at Washington WWT.
For the next couple of months i will be monitoring Dragonflies, Damselflies and Butterflies within the reserve. Then moving onto another survey after that and so on. I will be covering all Flora and Fauna so its all very exciting and i cant wait to get stuck in. So expect lots of photos of the above.

Anyhoo's, heres some Moths i clocked this morning resting in one of the bird hides.



Brimstone


Coxcomb Prominent



Yellow Shell


Snout


Light Arches

I take it they were all night flying Moths and will find out asap.

  4. Thanks Dean i do believe i posted a Yellow Shell in a previous post.

    The Survey Assistant is only Voluntary but the experience will help towards my ultimate goal of becoming a Reserve Warden. Im also studying Environmental Science Degree so in Four years time, hopefully i will get there.

  7. Hi Davy. Some cracking moths. That Light Arches looks like a Dark Arches - a light coloured one. Light Arches doesn't have an orbital or kidney spot which this one does.
