B&F1707. Small Dusty Wave
B&F0015.Orange Swift
One of three Small Dusty Waves today, along with one Old Lady (sorry Ba), and the Orange Swift (fem) from 23rd [498th spp. for the garden].
George: My counts of swift spp. are very poor in my garden: Ghost 3 recs last 2003 Orange 1 rec new 2011 Common 4 last 2010 NO Map-winged or Gold The latter two spp. are uncommon in central Cardiff. As for Cypress Carpet: First Sept. 2009, 11 recs. Dave, I'm always distracted by Old Ladies!
Amazed that's your first Orange Swift Jake, 23 records in 5 years here. Still no Cypress Carpet though!
ReplyDeletePerhaps he's bee overlooking them - distracted by all those Old Lady's!
