First part of May

Apart from a couple of nights it's still not really got going yet this year in the garden. I have however managed  to get only my second ever garden Powdered Quaker and second ever Purple Thorn, which unfortunately got away before the shutter clicked. Waved Umber has produced a handful of specimens every year so far., all but one previously in April.

April...

...can be summed up in one statistic and one slang word.
April 2011 = 34 species, April 2013 = 5.
Sh*te
and one photo of the only moth worth mentioning
