Scarce Bordered Straws, Elton

They've taken their time but two finally arrived last night. The second of these is a female and has laid a couple of eggs.

Scarce Bordered Straw, Farcet Fen, 15 Sept 06

With Convolvulus Hawk-moth, The Vestal and Scarce Bordered Straw, the night of 14/15 Sept makes it the best night here for migrant moths I've ever had.
