This Tree Sparrow pictured on a house has a rather large insect for the chicks at home in the nest. Nearly all the other interest has been snapping Insects as the birds and their youngsters are keeping pretty well hidden from view.

  1. Hi Barry, isn't your mystery insect a May Fly? The three-pronged tail is diagnostic. Your moth I think is a Lesser Treble Bar: the angle that the inner cross line makes at the edges is acute in Lesser TB but obtuse in TB.

  3. Also, I think your Skipper is a Large rather than a Small.
