First job of the day was to check on the Moth trap and it was another poor catch with just a single Poplar Hawkmoth & a couple of Caddis Flies. However i do have another Moth to report with the emergence of a Coleophora serratella from a larval case i collected off a Birch some weeks back.

Then i was off along the canal to check on the pair of Mute Swans at Kelvindale (the one where the male got taken into care with a fractured skull). Both birds were still together but only 1 egg has hatched so far and the female was still sitting tight on the nest.

Right, on with today`s images ;

Cannae complain about this morning`s route to get a wee bit of shopping at Iceland.

Stock Dove 8+

Dipper 1

Also managed to point the camera at a few subjects.

Gave my new Moth trap it`s first run out in the back court, last night. I`ve got to say I wasn`t impressed with the results but I think that`s down to the lack of Moths and not the trap`s ability. I only managed 2 species, with singles of White-shouldered House-moth & Flame Carpet.
