There wasn't much to raise the cardiac output in the garden during March - aside from two new* moths. A Twin-spotted Quaker on the 13th, and a Lead-coloured Drab on the 29th, the latter was confidently identified after consulting the comparative photos of Lead-coloured/Clouded Drabs taken by Mr Matt Burgess of Upper Caldecote. What was notable about these two moths (but adds absolutely nothing to science) is that they both have hyphenated English names.
Astounding, I think you'll agree . . .
