Well done Beryl, was rooting through my field guide, but you beat me to it.

I thought this may be a question of does Beryl beat Rolf or visa versa but didn't like to say so, but if I'm honest about it I do always think Beryl is by far the fastest draw on the gun......sorry Rolf.

Thanks Beryl......quite common is it?

I'm not that fast when it comes to birds. I have researched a great deal on Moths as there are a great many along the Estuary.
Look out for the Brimstone moth, it's about the same size as this and is bright yellow with tiny orange/red flecks. another day flying moth
