Mediterranean Gulls on the south coast today #ukwildlife

Just one Common Quaker in the trap. It's going to rain all day tomorrow and tomorrow night 😧 #teammoth

Here are a couple more photos of Angle Shades and Early Grey. It's looking too windy for trapping tonight #teammoth

A selection from last nights trap including an Early Grey found on the fence, 4 Pine Beauties and a rather lively Angle Shades #teammoth

One of last night's Pine Beauties, VC17 #teammoth

I'm getting the trap in shortly as I want it packed away before the head cold from hell completely knocks me sideways. I can just about see a couple of Pine Beauties in there despite my streaming eye. Why is it always one eye and one nostril 🤔 #teammoth

Just one each of Chestnut, Small Quaker and Common Quaker in a brief, chilly trap yesterday evening #teammoth

Just seen a Holly Blue in the garden and a female Blackcap in the vets car park earlier. Both NFY #ukwildlife #butterflies

Pine Beauty and Clouded Drab both new for year #teammoth

Final score for 16.03.26, VC17 Pine Beauty (1), Yellow Horned (1), Hebrew Character (5), Clouded Drab (4), Early Grey (5), Small Quaker (2), Common Quaker (10) #teammoth

Hello Handsome! #teammoth

Early Grey NFY and Common Quaker were the only occupants of a brief trap yesterday evening, VC17 #teammoth

All the moth pots have been washed today. The kids, aka December Moth eggs have been checked and given a small spray of water. Trap is out for a short session as it is actually quite mild after this afternoons sun #teammoth

Just this one Small Quaker braved the temperature yesterday evening #teammoth

Yellow Horned and Small Quaker from a brief trap yesterday evening #teammoth

Yellow Horned and Common Quaker just dropped into the trap #teammoth

Forster's and Sandwich Terns at Poole Park Lake in Dorset this morning #ukwildlife

A rather snazzy Yellow Horned from last night's trap #teammoth

A nice start to the evenings trap. Yellow Horned (one of my favourite moths), Hebrew Character, Common Quaker, Common Plume, Double-striped Pug #teammoth

Dotted Border NFY and only our second record #teammoth

Hebrew Character NFY #teammoth

Common Quaker and Brindled Pug so far this evening #teammoth

Just one Small Quaker in a very chilly evening trap, VC17 #teammoth

I've never seen a Small Quaker's proboscis before 🤔 #teammoth

Shades of beige. Common Quaker can be quite variable #teammoth

A couple of Peacocks and lots of Brimstones are enjoying the sunshine today #ukwildlife #butterflies

Just seen my first Hummingbird Hawk-moth of the year! I'm not sure if I've seen a local one before #teammoth

Three Common Quakers in the trap already #teammoth

Pale Brindled Beauty NFY, 6 Common Quaker and this Double-striped Pug? this evening #teammoth

Just found this Common Quaker in the office. He's now safely outside #teammoth

Common Quaker NFY in a very short trap yesterday evening 22.02.26, VC17 #teammoth

March Moth from last night's trap. It's only our third record of this species in the garden, 21.02.26, VC17 #teammoth

March Moth NFY and Chestnut x2 in the trap this morning. I could see from last night's fox cam footage that it became very wet and windy overnight, so at least I got something 😊 #teammoth

It's really mild now that the rain has stopped. The wind may be a problem though 🤔 #teammoth

Note to self. Check the sides of the trap before bringing indoors. I brought the trap in at 10pm and saw an unid'd moth take off into the night. Am now trying to convince myself that it was a Chestnut or Red-green Carpet instead of a much wanted Shoulder Stripe or Small Brindled Beauty 🙈 #teammoth

Satellite and Chestnut showed up to an evening trap. Coming home from work last night, suddenly seeing a Muntjac standing on the side of the road in the dark certainly sharpens your focus 😱. Good driving from @darthjulzz.bsky.social saved the day #teammoth #ukwildlife

We are doing well for Chestnut so far this year #teammoth

I proudly present a micro moth from last night's trap 🥴 #teammoth

Pot shot of Tortricodes alternella, VC17, 06.02.26 ✔️ #teammoth

Tortricodes alternella in the trap. At least I've got something 😊 #teammoth

Just watching live trailcam footage of a wood in London and there are moths on the wing #teammoth

Why are Chestnuts so variable? I think that this is just a Chestnut despite Obs saying different. The result seems to depend what sort of light the moth is photographed in 🥴 #teammoth

Just one Chestnut yesterday evening #teammoth

One of yesterday evenings Chestnuts photographed in natural light. When we viewed last night's trailcam footage this morning, there were a few moths flying around overnight #teammoth

Here is one of the two Chestnuts that came to a short evening trap before the temperature dropped, 30.01.26,VC17 #teammoth

Convolvulus Hawk-moth on an organised trapping session many years ago for #MothFaceFriday #teammoth

Blast from the past, Malachite Kingfisher, The Gambia #birding

One thing that brightened up a long training session this morning was my first Pale Brindled Beauty of the year perched on the training room window #teammoth

Couldn't resist popping in for another look at this chap on the way home from the Killdeer. He was very vocal yesterday #birding

Scarlet Elf Cup in Hampshire today #FungiFriends
