A regular visitor to our garden this one, but I am struggling to identify it. Any help would be appreciated. Apologies for the poor photo.

Hi Paul,iam not quite sure about the size of your moth,but it looks like a Marbled Beauty,get them in my garden too,the caterpillars feed on lichens,and the adults are usually found resting on walls. Smile

Many thanks Stephen for pointing me in the right direction. It is indeed a Marbled Beauty and I usually have quite few on the wall around an exterior light on my housethroughout the summer. Incidently there is also a lot of lichen on my roof. It has become a habit for me now to check the wall every morning in the summer. Have had Ghost Swift, Grey Dagger, Willow Beauty, Buff Ermine to name a few this year. Thanks again for your help. Paul.

All views expressed within the Wildlife Album are those of the contributor and not necessarily those of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Album Administrators. All images on the Wildlife Album are taken in Lincolnshire, for further information on Lincolnshire Birds, see http://www.lincsbirdclub.co.uk . The terms of the Wildlife and Countryside Act must be observed and licences obtained to photograph Schedule 1 species from the appropriate Statutory Nature Conservation Agency. The Lincsbirds photo Album does not encourage images of rare birds taken at the nest or with young - a copy of the appropriate licences must be available, otherwise your image will be removed.

The Bird Club was formed in 1979, to encourage and further an interest in the bird life, birding and birdwatching of the historic county of Lincolnshire, to collect and publish information on bird movements and bird populations, bird taxonomy, bird status, to encourage conservation of the wildlife of the county of Lincolnshire and to provide sound information on which bird conservation policies can be based.

Joining the Bird Club is a great way to make new birdwatching friends and contacts in Lincolnshire! If you are a "beginner", but keen to become actively involved in birding, you will find that learning about your county's wild birds - how, when and where to see them - is both easier and more enjoyable when undertaken in the company of our local enthusiasts. If you're already an active birdwatcher you can add another dimension to your birding by becoming involved in our varied local activities.
