Unknown moth better pix


Here's a better picture of the unIDed moth. Stewart I'm beginning to warm to your idea that it's an aberrant Hebrew Character. It is too small for Rannoch Sprawler and not quite right I think. Photo with ruler below. However, the suggestion of involving the county recorder is a good one, I'll dig out his email address.

I think you should let the county recorder know about that hare as well it's tiny at barely 20mm long! You seem to have settled in to life up top. I think whitby has now been officially abandoned in favour of flam by nick and john.

Alastair, I'm more convinced now. Thats a Hebrew with the marks 'compressed' there are pics like it in Waring...or variations on the theme anyway...

Andrew, yup getting used to there being lots of birds about, Whitby has indeed been abandoned by the remaining Halifax crew they're enjoying seeing rare birds at Flamborough.

Stewart, I'm going to send the pix to the recorder, we'll see what he has to say. Thanks for your help with this one.
