Observation details
The previous night we had left a floodlight on, so in the morning the wall and window of the house were covered in moths. The male Black-throated Blue Warbler took advantage of this fact; using the rhododendron below the window as base, he would fly up, snag a moth from the wall or window, and retreat to the shrub to eat his catch. He did this at least three or four times as I watched, and likely more.
