A few weeks ago in the bird hide at Holywell pond a fellow birder told me about a family of Long-Eared Owls in the wetlands area down at St Marys ,a few days later my mate and I decided to give it ago knowing full well that they might have moved on however our luck was in and the info we had was spot on this is what we got .
Just as I was about to press the button somebody else came along and it didn't like that and moved on
However we found it later on looking a lot more relaxed
Now we are going to jump forward to a few days ago when my son brought in a caterpillar he came across working in somebody's garden see if you can identify this said he .
A very different and indeed colourful caterpillar, my good lady was quick on the case and soon came back with its a Vapourer Moth caterpillar about 27 mm long and below is the end result
Thanks for looking
Joe.
