@everyheron.bsky.social near the quays in Galway. Stickered for its big long pointy beak

Any carpet experts in #TeamMoth from Co Clare this morning

Cross Catholic church Our Lady of Lourdes 1959 Willie Earley of the Abbey Stained Hall Glass Studio.

Briefly for 1937 to 1945 Foyne was the European end of trans Atlantic flying boat services. In 2002 we were in Norwood Newfoundland at the corresponding museum.

#DsilyDrawing2026 one for @saocousins.bsky.social the end of the northern side of the Shannon. It would be rude not to go right to the end. @drrjwarren.bsky.social @indikon.eurosky.social Neutral Eire didn't want military flights that were unsure of position landing. By 4pm the mist had gone

#dailydrawing2026 @drrjwarren.bsky.social @saopaulomiigrau.bsky.social @indikon.eurosky.social today's feeble offering

A fine window by Harry Clarke from the main church at Corofin Co Clare. Plus a more recent one sadly the lower section is missing, hopefully just for repair.

Today's offering from occasional, vacation #dailydrawing2026 previous memories to self to abstain from tracery failed. Kilfenora Abbey ruins Co Clare @drrjwarren.bsky.social @saocousins.bsky.social that head wandered left !

Much out of practice. #dailydrawing2026 seems like something out of Arthur Ransome We didn't mean to go to Sea. A compressed view of the harbour lights and markers off the back of the ferry into Dublin @saocousins.bsky.social @drrjwarren.bsky.social @indikon.eurosky.social

Miracles, son on a headland before breakfast.

Photos from today. Guilles, Razors,kittiwake, gannets and shearwaters from the ferry.

Paper, pencil, rubber, paint. Tick @drrjwarren.bsky.social @saocousins.bsky.social Binoculars tick, Moth traps, battery, pots,books Tick. Reading books Tick clothes guess I should, laptop sadly yes. Flying rucksack sadly no. Replacement car phew. Heading for the ferry.

Pugs defeat me. Seemingly two different species, the second in some lights has a wavy pale line towards the edge of the hind wing. And a long horn for joy. #TeamMoth

#TeamMoth I run weekly traps on our allotments and warned a new neighbour about the lights. Delighted a few weeks later on to be called over to look at a moth trapped in his netting. Pleased that sharing gets a positive response

The gorgeous crazy moths are a highlight of the year, yet to see them in Leeds fur 2026

The allotment has nearly as many moths 14/9 but more puzzlers. A tiny moth, pinky for scale, two brown ones and a "battered" pug. Any offers #TeamMoth. ? Too hot to sleep, listening to bird song now

OK. Nothing special but NFG and lifer for me, and rather beautiful with pink legs. 15 of 7. first catch that has made double figures. Getting warm already and the moths are jumpy. #TeamMoth. Central Leeds

The church at Blixworth, with Anglo Saxon origins and arches of Roman tiles. Visited after seeing the recent photo shot by @fotofacade.bsky.social and not to far from my aunt's.

@everyheron.bsky.social if this hasn't reached you already. Other mortals enjoy

Another great shot from Paul

My favourite photo of today. I'm no fan of the bubble canopy two seater for aesthetics - I am sure the view is improved for second person. What an impact the prototype must have made back in the day, alongside the biplanes

Get searching

Lydd on Sea VC15, a very windy night by the sea, still resulted in 46 of 12. NFY, were a Toadflax Brocade and a Heart and Dart, plus an always impressive Puss Moth. #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

The Premier Inn has a seaview. Just not much of one !

@everyheron.bsky.social how many heron pubs are there? Pike and Heron Tinsley near Meadowhall. The frame on the right used to be topped by a striking 3d model illuminated fibre glass of a heron and it's monster pike dinner.

Churches, cathedrals, amazing photos, wonderful reflective writing. Give Andy a follow and some support

Does my body look small with this bill? @drrjwarren.bsky.social

@drrjwarren.bsky.social @saocousins.bsky.social enjoy

A slow start to the season in Central Leeds. A lovely female LBAM, a beautiful Brindled Beauty nfg and one of the quakers maybe small, any pointers #TeamMoth ?

Nil moths in Central Leeds last night, so a shot of the transplanted teasels and other things on the allotment waiting for the Cochylis roseana to lay eggs for the 2027 flight brood. #TeamMoth

'A Sunny Day.' (1900) Elin Danielson's favourite subjects tend to be portraits of women engaged in daily work. Given the date of this picture, it was most likely painted in Livorno in Italy shortly after her marriage to the painter Raffaello Gambogi.

An @oxfambooksaber.bsky.social find last weekend. A fictional account of the last Eskimo curlew. 1950s. Once shoot in their millions across South and North America. A best seller in it's day and still in print @curlewaction.bsky.social

What a massive stunner

@saocousins.bsky.social @drrjwarren.bsky.social @indikon.eurosky.social last day of the week away. A damp morning at @rspbbemptoncliffs.bsky.social . An attempt to convert some poor mobile phone snaps into a combined image #dailydrawing occasionally

This is (I think) a Greater Blue-Eared Starling (Lamprotornis chalybaeus) & the amazing chrome job is their super-power. They've evolved to manipulate light in VERY specific ways, attracting mates, intimidating rivals. Let's look at the nanostructures that bring this bling into being.

Too complex and it has come out flat should have spent more time studying Turner and Constables trees at the Tate. The sun was catching the below the church. @saocousins.bsky.social @drrjwarren.bsky.social @indikon.eurosky.social

One day maybe !

I probably should do one boat less badly not 5 ! I should stick to doors

A simple architectural sketch, in part as someone was sat in the adjacent bay window as I admired it. @saocousins.bsky.social @drrjwarren.bsky.social

First moth trap of the year. A possibly promising cottage garden. Chilly night, battery had failed by 2am. Early grey a pretty ntm and 2 hc. Anyone rum two motorcycle batteries in parallel to get endurance or would that blow the inverter unit? #teammoth

And then they drilled for oil and went to war. . .

About to start my moth season, coz you see some beautiful things.

Spring is moving

A still life from NT Ham House at the start of a weekend down souff.

A wonderful spotlight on birches

St Peter's Heysham. Well worth the walk from Morecambe. One for @drrjwarren.bsky.social and @fotofacade.bsky.social
