The Clouded Border is a very pretty black and white moth, which can be seen flying at dusk in the summer months in woodland and dampish meadows. The caterpillars feed on sallow (Salix) and poplars (Populus), especially aspen (P. tremula).
New mezzotint of a Mistle thrush, or 'Storm cock' as they're affectionately known for their tree-top habit of singing loudly into oncoming weather. Available only directly from this website or from Kestle Barton info@kestlebarton this summer.
