Photos of the month

Photo: This photo taken by Ken Care,

Photo: This is another taken by Ken Care and he has provided some interesting facts about his photo. This is a Jersey Tiger Moth, quite rare in Essex. Until recently it was restricted in distribution to the Channel Islands and parts of the south coast. On the mainland it is commonest in south Devon, but colonies have recently appeared in Dorset and the Isle of Wight, and it has also been found in other southern counties.

Photo: We are lucky enough to have another photo sent in by Terry Taylor who takes some wonderful photos of birds.
