| Convolvulus Hawk-moth, Agrius convolvuli |
I returned to Arundel WWT on Thursday and watched Kingfishers zooming around in front of the scrape hide and catching fish. Last night a Setaceous Hebrew Character moth landed on our balcony, a first. Probably a migrant having a rest after its channel crossing.
Today I checked out some fields in north Sussex for metal detecting possibilities but only found early 20thC pennies. A bonus was a Small Copper, a juvenile slow-worm under a mat and swallows rushing around. Then I stopped at Arundel WWT where Terry showed me a Convolvulus Hawk-moth by the Sand Martin hide. Goldfinches and a Long-tailed Tit were in their usual place by the nearby feeders.
