30 Days Wild - day 6

Today we had two of our moths emerge from their chrysalises...The children sometimes collect a chrysalis that they come across in the garden so that they can keep it in a safe place to see the moth emerge.


Both the moths were exactly the same, both had a yellow under wing which is not visible in these photographs. The moth is a lesser yellow underwing, so we have had a moth release today.


We have also had a bird of prey sighting whilst at our allotment this morning, it was doing quite a bit of hovering and we think it is probably a kestrel... My husband managed to shoot a little footage of it in action.
