Moths and from the garden.

| Actenia brunnealis. |
I got up and headed out into the garden to check the moth trap, there were a few species in there and I took some shots of a few but far from the full list. I have not run the trap for well over a year so just broke myself in easily and picked out a few of the nice looking ones.

These included Actenia brunnealis, Dysgonia algira (The Pasenger), Heliothis armigera (Scarce Bordered Straw) ?????, Clytie illunaris????? Pseudozarba bipartita, Xestia xanthographa (Square-spot Rustic),

Once the moths were sorted I got on with some work trying to catch up with a years growth on all the trees, as I took the forst trug of rubbish out I saw an adult Red-rumped Swallow (Golondrina Dáurica / Hirundo daurica) sat on the wires in the early morning light.
As I continued in the garden a good numer of European Bee-eaters (Abejaruco Común / Merops apiaster) were passing over on their way West, several Iberian Magpies (Rabilargo / Cyanopica cooki) were coming into the garden raiding the fig tree as was a single female Golden Oriole (Oropéndola / Oriolus oriolus).
