Recent Micro Highlights Pt 3......

 I haven't trapped in the last 2 days as we went away to Aldborough in Suffolk for the weekend. The only mothing highlight was seeing a a Hummingbird Hawk-moth nectaring on Lavender whilst I enjoyed a lovely pint of Adnam's Southwold Bitter outside the Brudenell Hotel on the sea front.

Anyway, enough of that........ here's the last of the micros, to bring me more or less up to date. Just a few common ones I've yet to get a shot of- like Mother of Pearl.........
