| Grey Shoulder-knot Moth, Lithophane ornitopus |
Yesterday I went for a walk in Houghton Forest to look for
moths on tree trunks. I found one, a Grey Shoulder-knot Moth (Lithophane
ornitopus). I saw a single holly berry and many hazel catkins. In the afternoon
I visited Arundel WWT where I saw a Kingfisher on the outside of the reed bed
hide, a Little Egret plus many wildfowl at the Ramsar Hide. I met birders who told me they had seen a Crossbill and heard others. No such luck for me though.
Today I returned to Houghton Forest, this time walking from the Whiteways car park. I found an Orange Ladybird.
