A Dotted Footman arrived at the Hall last night and was a welcome addition to the years’ footman list which inludes Common, Dingy, Scarce, Buff, Rosy and Four-spotted at Bawdsey in addition to Round-winged Muslin. Still no Pigmy here, but at least Raymond has made up for that one.
Accompanying the footman was a female Gem – a good year for this species so far – I think we’re up to about 7 so far at Bawdsey.
Webb’s Wainscot and Six-striped Rustic appeared on the wing for the first time this year.
