Roger - I am disappointed - I thought it was going to be a Lonchaeid from Shetland! Anyways your Aberdeenshire specimen is Silba fumosa .... Iain

Sorry to disappoint you Iain Sad I'd like to find some up here and if I did you'd be the first to know. And with this ongoing Covid crap it looks like I won't be finding any on Mainland Scotland either this year.

Snow covering here ATM so a while till anything will be flying.. Back to Birds, Otters and Orca till then ...
BTW thanks for the ID, most unexpected getting it to species Smile

Regards

Roger.... the Frozen North Frown
