Red-flanked Blue Tail & a Rare Gem

Red-flanked Blue Tail

This morning had the Red-flanked Blue Tail showing well so I took a flying visit to St Mary's to grab some more pics. Light was still poor so not the quality I had hoped for.

1720 Gem Orthonama obstipata

In the moth trap was a real treat, a Gem. This is a rare migrant, this being the 23rd individual recorded in the county - see http://www.northumberlandmoths.org.uk for more on moths in Northumberland.
