Tree Sparrow juveniles and the Small Argent and Sable

 I saw my first juvenile Tree Sparrows of the year today, these were at Stonedge. I've mentioned before that the only other place I've seen them locally is Uppertown but there must be other locations that have small populations and its hard to understand why it has such a restricted distribution in the area.

Whilst on the moor I came across a nice example of the small, day flying, moth the Small Argent and Sable. It's an attractive moth whose lave feed on the widespread Heath Bedstraw and consequently the moth can be seen right across the moors at this time of year.
