| Oak Hook-tip, Watsonalla binaria |
On Sunday morning I took Sue to her conference in Surrey. I had
researched some nearby Surrey Wildlife Trust reserves and headed off to
Blindley Heath where I immediately found a beautiful Oak Hook-tip moth on a
nettle leaf. I found many Green longhorn moths flowing around a hawthorn tree.
I also found a lone Yellow-barred Longhorn.
Next I visited Hedgecourt Nature Reserve where I found a Red-Eyed Damselfly
and mating Green Dock Beetles. A grass snake slithered into the damp grass.
Finally I searched the verge and hedgerow along Brickhouse
Lane and found a Meadow Longhorn and Orange-tip, both laying on Garlic Mustard.
Plus a tiny Common Cosmet moth.
