Greenish Warbler
The greenish warbler (Phylloscopus trochiloides) is a widespread leaf warbler with a breeding range in northeastern Europe and temperate to subtropical continental Asia. This warbler is strongly migratory and winters in India. It is not uncommon as a spring or early autumn vagrant in Western Europe and is annually seen in Great Britain. In Central Europe large numbers of vagrant birds are encountered in some years; some of these may stay to breed, as a handful of pairs does each year in Germany.
Like all leaf warblers, it was formerly placed in the "Old World warbler" assemblage, but now belongs to the new leaf-warbler family Phylloscopidae. The genus name Phylloscopus is from Ancient Greek phullon, "leaf", and skopos, "seeker" (from skopeo, "to watch"). The specific trochiloides is from Ancient Greek trokhalos, "bowed", and -oides "resembling", from the similarity to the willow warbler, P. trochilus.
This is a typical leaf warbler in appearance, grayish-green above and off-white below. The single wing bar found in the southern and western populations distinguishes them from most similar species (except Arctic warbler P. borealis). It is slightly smaller than that species and has a thinner bill, without a dark tip to the lower mandible. A latitude-based analysis of wintering birds indicated that more northerly P. trochiloides are smaller, i.e. this species does not seem to follow Bergmann's rule.
Its song is a high jerky trill, in some populations containing a sequence of down- and more rarely up slurred notes.
It breeds in lowland deciduous or mixed forest; non-breeding birds in the warmer parts of its range may move to montane habitat in summer. Individuals from southeast of the Himalayas are for example quite often seen in Bhutan during the hot months, typically in humid Bhutan Fir (Abies densa) forest up to about 3,800 meters ASL or more, but they do not breed there and return again to the adjacent subtropical lowlands in winter.
The nest is on the ground in low shrub. Like its relatives, this small passerine is insectivorous.
It has a number of subspecies, of which P. t . viridianus is the most familiar in Europe. As it seems, it is a ring species, with populations diverging east- and westwards of the Tibetan Plateau, later meeting on the northern side. Their relationships are therefore fairly confusing:
Eastern group: greenish warblers
Phylloscopus trochiloides trochiloides: greenish warbler
Southern rim of the Himalaya eastwards from Nepal into W China.
Dusky greyish green above, often traces of second wing bar.
Phylloscopus trochiloides obscuratus: dull-green warbler
Intermediate between trochiloides and two-barred warbler.
Gansu and surroundings, China.
Western group: green warblers
Phylloscopus trochiloides viridanus: western greenish warbler
Breeds Western Siberia to north-east Europe; at east of range south to NW India.
Dull green above, with yellowish supercilium, throat, breast and faint wing bar.
The groups' origin lies probably in the Himalayan region, where trochiloides is found. This taxon is close to the parapatric obscuratus, and to plumbeitarsus which is geographically separated from obscuratus; they all can (and in the case of the former two do naturally) hybridize. P. t. plumbeitarsus is often split as distinct species, as it does not hybridize with viridianus in the narrow zone in the western Sayan Mountains where their ranges overlap.
But phylogenetically, the western taxa are even more distinct. However, there is some gene flow between trochiloides and viridianus also, with their hybrids being especially common in Baltistan; they were once considered another subspecies ludlowi. The green warbler P. nitidus, now by many considered a distinct species, is a mountain isolate that diverged from ancestral viridianus.
Song structure differs mainly between greenish warbler and two-barred warbler, which was formerly considered conspecific. The former has a fairly uniform, long, and warbling song. Around the Himalayas, song structure is similar, but songs are generally shorter. Two-barred warbler, on the other hand, has a long song that can be clearly divided into a warbling part, followed by series of up- and down slurred notes. The songs of obscuratus, and, interestingly, "ludlowi", are short, but contain the downslur elements too; in the latter, they uniquely appear at the start of the song.

Two new moths
Another trapping session last night in the garden, yielded less moths but a better array of species.
It was quite a warm and muggy day but we did have some light showers and it was relatively windy when I returned from the British Grand Prix.
The trap was switched on at around 9.45pm and the sky was duly clearing.
By the morning it felt a lot cooler than recent times at around 12 degrees there was a little nip in the air and you could see your breath.
Good moths included 3 Elephant Hawk-moths (I only had my first of the year on Friday, they must have heard me complaining about how scarce they had been so far in the garden!) July Highflyer and 3 Single-dotted Waves.
Argyresthia cupressella was quite an uncommon moth that unfortunately had seen better days.
The best was yet to come...on careful examination of each egg tray that I lifted from the trap, I noticed two 'interesting' micro moths. The first looked like a Epinotia nisella, but didn't look quite right so i potted it up.
It turned out to be a new moth for me, an Epinotia signatana.
The second moth looked like a large Bryotropha of somekind but on closer inspection had 6 little shiny bumps on the dorsum reminiscent of Psoricoptera gibbosella under a hand lens it was clear that it didn't fit this species so I searched through my books and online images and finally found it.
Exoteleia dodecella was a match and another completely new moth for me!

Architects; Terry Farrell & Nicholas Grimshaw, late 60s.
(Farrell Grimshaw Partnership 1965-1980)
Younger generation may not know that these two architects started their joint practice in 1965 which lasted till 1980. They also worked on ‘service pods/clusters’ for London housing. Their work was innovative and high-tech, very much in the traditions of Archigram.
It is obvious now that both architects had their own routes plotted which they wanted to follow separately. Grimshaw continued with high-tech approach while Farrell was more eclectic and toyed with the post modernism for a while.
This apartment scheme was one of their earliest projects. The central load bearing core and perimeter columns allowed great deal of flexibility of floor plans. Ribbon windows with rounded corners gave good views over the Regents Park. Nick Grimshaw lived in one of the apartments for six years. This building was listed as Grade II in 2001.
