yup...our lesser celendine is popping up all over the place, and the first of our bluebells are budding (a mite early me thinks). we've also got a couple of roses flowering, and that really concerns me!
the best moth book that i've found out there is:
Field Guide to the Moths of Great Britain and Ireland (Paperback) by Paul Waring (Author), Martin Townsend (Author), Richard Lewington (Illustrator)
easily the most user friendly one, with classy illustrations of lots of common moths (and some not so common ones). I've been using it to great effect for the last year and my moth id skills have vastly improved!
