Also known as the Plume Moth.

There has been a number of Little Egrets breeding locally, although I am not exactly sure where.
These are the young ones, and like Starlings, were constantly squabbling.
Although not visible in the mud, their feet are, unlike the adults, black not turning yellow until next year.

 

Thank you Stronglodon, some times my book just don't give it's comman name on some moths

While doing a spot of dead-heading this evening, Mrs Trunky came across this little beauty nestled in one of the Osteospermums.

Am I right in thinking it's a Speckled Bush-cricket?

 

Sorry this is as far as I could zoom in but can anyone identify it please, it seemed to large for a gull?

 

Looks like a juvenile Herring or Lesser Black Backed Gull, they are as big as their parents but brown and spotted.
