April's count

At the risk of driving myself round the bend in the following months, I thought it might be nice to review the garden list for the first few months of the year.

It'll also give me a chance to work on my shockingly bad knowledge of macro-moth taxonomic names...

Here I go again, fiddling with formatting. I'll never be done doing it!

[Update: As an aside, I saw my first Small White of the year in school in beautiful sunshine yesterday, getting some nectar from the flowers of the shrubbery. No camera obviously, so no photos. Yet!]
