Jonathan: Flybye – a Magpie Moth, blown into my van through one window, and after pausing briefly to rest – sucked out through the other window. Lovely! Thanks to Becky and others for identifying it. Apparently it eats (amongst other things) Gooseberry leaves … but is not the moth form of the dreaded Gooseberry Sawfly! Good, as it is very pretty and delicate, though how it manages to survive on a windy and showery day like today is beyond my knowing!

I originally posted this with a very poor quality photo, but I’ve found I do in fact have software with which I can edit photos in RAW format before converting to JPG. The photo below is from that new work-flow!
