Benson & Ewelme

Monday 21 March 2011
A male Brambling while eating breakfast was a good start to the day.
Then emptied the moth trap that was in the garden overnight.  Not particularly inspiring with only 4 individuals but at least I was able to ID them and release them without spending the whole day at it.  The sum total was a Hebrew Character, 2 Common Quakers and an Early Grey (pictured).

I followed up with a couple of hours down the alottment where a Brimstone and a Small Tortoiseshell were seen.
Over to Ewelme in the afternoon where almost a repeat of the morning with another Brambling, another Brimstone and another Small Tortoiseshell.  Signs (dropping) of Hedgehog in the garden.
