Toadflax Brocade. Now regular in our Grantham garden. #Teammoth

Ooh, another gynandromorph, (intersex Mallard). Gibraltar point. #lincsbirding

Some lovely street plants near us. Council will be along spraying them soon, you see.

Thanks for id help @leicesterllama.bsky.social Seems it's a Scythris sp. (prob. limbella). Rare, apparently. Grantham, Lincs.

A Hobby perched briefly atop St. Wulframs Grantham . Flew around Sedgewick meadows. Not your every day town centre bird. #lincsbirding

What a year for Painted Ladies. 20+ on patch last eve, and I only walked part of the site. Marston, Lincs. #butterflies

Well this looks easy to id but I'm not getting it. #Teammoth

Sedgewick meadows @nationaltrust.org.uk Grantham. Hobby, Fox and lots of dancing Long-horn Moths.

Rooklet. #lincsbirding #birds #corvids

My mate @kasabyanwild.bsky.social found this hybrid aythya duck at Frieston heath. Thinking Pochard x Tufted. It didn't have the Lesser Scaup-like bump on the back of the head that they mostly have, head shape even a bit greater Scaup-ish at times. #lincsbirding

This Elachista subocellea was new for the garden. Grantham, Lincs. #Teammoth

We probably have the biggest Carrion Crow colony in Lincs. at Marston stw. Good numbers throughout the year. Around 200 on the turf before roosting last night. Looked like all adults. #Lincsbirding

A pair of ✂️. #Teammoth

Green Woodpecker at the watering hole. #lincsbirding

Fox visited the pool for a drink. #fox

Had my cam on a drying pool at Marston, lots of birds and mammals coming down to drink. Kestrel having a bath. (Best on big screen). #Lincsbirding

Warmer but moth catch still down. 12 lat night, pale Tussock best. #Teammoth

Saw plenty of birds at Alkborough flats, with plenty of entertaining birding tales from Mr.Alkborough. A drake Mandarin was a good bird for the site. #lincsbirding

Drinker moth caterpillar. Londonthorpe, Lincs. #Teammoth

Dull at first glance, very smart on close inspection and some great names. Rustic Shoulder-knot, Clouded-bordered Brindle, Nutmeg, Bright-line Brown-eye. #Teammoth

I think this might be a darkish Clouded-bordered Brindle? #Teammoth

Little Owl, shape-shifting for camouflage. #birds

Marston stw. WeBS count unspectacular, waderless but pair of Tuftys new for year. Cuckoo right overhead, Hobby etc. #lincsbirding @webs-gsmp.bsky.social

First Hawk-moth of the year. #Teammoth

Dodging hail showers at Kilvington lakes. Best bird was a Hobby.

Walking along the Grantham canal I saw a Hobby heading for Denton res. It was there and was joined by a second. They put on a great show. Compact cam pics. #lincsbirding

Cuckoo still covering the entire site at Marston; 10mins cuckooing at each stop bsfore flying. Hope a female appears soon. About 500 mix of Swifts, HMartins and Swallows over the works. #lincsbirding

Common Heath and Ancylis uncella at Kirkby moor. @lincswildlife.bsky.social #Teammoth

The new garden pond, (still <<1 year old), never ceases to amaze! Nymphs out and adult Large Red Damsels oviposing.

Actually got a double-figure count of moths last night! Mullein best. #Teammoth

Saw the stunning Maine Coon Cat again at Marston. It's huge!, was hunting small mammals in the grass. #cats

Yes! Our first Peregrine chick hatched yesterday at St. Wulfram’s Church, Grantham. Here is that very special moment. Thanks @alanball101.bsky.social #lincsbirding

The Red-breasted Merganser at Freiston shore yesterday. #lincsbirding

After afew quiet years at Marston, great to have Cuckoos breeding again last year. Male was advertising his presence today from the old Oak. Hope your mate returns soon. #lincsbirding

Moths still thin on the ground for time of year. Waved Umber, Foxglove and Double-striped Pugs. #Teammoth

Peregrine tucking into a bird at Marston this morning. Bird #92 for the patch year. Days of getting to 100+ by end April seem gone. #lincsbirding

This little moth in the bird hide at Marston was right size and shape for Bee Moth, is it one? Dark in there, I've lightened it up with phone. #Teammoth

Just good to be out, now the back's a bit better. #birds

Beginning to get a few moths at last. Least Black Arches, Muslin, Knot Grass. #Teammoth

At Kilvington this afternoon: another Whimbrel, 4 LR Plovers, 3 Common Sandpiper, Snipe, Dunlin, White Wag with the Yellows, GWEgret and a Grizzled Skipper. #nottsbirding

Whimbrel at Heydour pool, it's basically a village pond. #lincsbirding

The Longhorns are out. #Teammoth

2 Common Sandpipers at Marston stw. today were the first here since Sept. 2018. Shame one of them wasn't covered in spots! but hey, you take what you get. #lincsbirding

Just arrived...Lol.

More Holly blues this year than I've ever known. And they do open their wings occasionally. #butterflies

Bad back persisting, longing to get birding. Garden keeping me sane! Newts catching the rays, baby Robin, more Holly blue butterflies than any previous year. #birds #butterflies #amphibians

Willow Warblers around here always seem to have brownish/reddish legs, whereas other places I've seen them, further north, they are usually much brighter (orangey/pink). Anyone else noticed this? #Lincolnshire

Badger investigates the cam, looks like she's been feeding young. #mammals
