Good morning everyone.
Mr Walker here again with another of the animals that I have seen recently.
This is a Chimney Sweeper moth and it is about 2cm wide between the wing tips. Normally we don’t see them until June, but they are about earlier this year because it has been warmer. They fly about during the day and you can often see them in roadside verges. I like the white tips and frilly edges of their wings.
They don’t live in chimneys, so why do you think they are called Chimney Sweepers?
Bye for now.
Mr Walker
Morning Mr Walker – good to see you on the blog! Hope you and yours are all well.

Hello Mr Walker! Lovely photo there. I could have done with your wildlife knowledge the other day- I was doing a quiz and there was a round on wildflowers, I’m sure you’d have got full marks!
Morning Mr. Walker – nice to hear from you again with another great wildlife spotting blog.
Hi Mr Walker. Great to hear from you. I have never heard of a Chimney Sweeper moth so thanks for sharing your picture with us. Hope you and your family are all well. 🙂
