Missing posts already..

I was driving myself mad the other day, convinced I had seen a really early Latticed Heath, but there were no photos of it on my laptop, and I hadn't uploaded anything to social media.

I had of course spoken about it on a whatsapp group, and luckily got to the date in question.

So a double check of my camera card and bingo, I had taken photos of 3 new for year species on the 5th of April (A day after catching them).

Not quite sure how those records slipped through the net. I also have no recollection of what else I caught that night, maybe I morphed into a parallel vortex or something!

So below are the 3 new species I recorded on the 4th of April.
