Hornet Hoverfly and Red Admiral!

This morning near the station there was a Red Admiral, a Small White and a Hornet Hoverfly on the Buddleia - lovely stuff. A tiny bug was on the wall - I think it's likely to be an Anoscopus species, probably A. albifrons.

This morning the moth trap produced fewer numbers of species but a new one for me - a Dusky Thorn. Also in the trap were:
Willow Beauty - 2
Chequered Fruit-tree Tortrix
Light Brown Apple Moth
Micro-moth Carcina quercana (new to me!)
Large Yellow Underwing
Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing
Square-spot Rustic
Double-striped Pug
Micro-moth Agriphila geniculea
Brimstone

This morning, at least a couple of Jays were calling from the garden, maybe a family party of them.
