Well at least the garden got a good watering with the storm last night, after a week of sun. The tawny owls looked a bit forlorn today when I visited them. 4 or 5 "painted ladies" in the garden this week and a few "speckled woods" in the back field.
I found a "dark arches" moth as I was gardening today (while the soil is damp) and managed to get another 3 of this years moths IDed here-

This evening, I found out that a pair of Pied Wagtails have nested inside the dumper truck out back.
The parents are feeding young but I hope they vacate the nest before Jills dad needs to use the dumper again (probably next week). I managed to maneuver my small video camera with night vision into the workings of the machinery to view the nest, but I still dont know how many young there are.
