Been sorting out one of the sheds this afternoon and found this over wintering Peacock caught in some old webs. After a bit of tlc, he was fine and dandy and placed on the wall to warm up.

20/9 last night. Chestnut nfy. 3 Clouded Drab. 4 Common Quaker. 4 Early Grey. Early Thorn nfy. Hebrew Character. 4 Small Quaker. Satellite. Twin-spotted Quaker #teammoth

Not a lot out there tonight, so a few from last night. Small Quaker. Clouded Drab. Early Grey and Hebrew Character #teammoth

2 Early Grey nfy #teammoth

Double striped Pug and Twenty-plume Moth are both nfy #teammoth

A bit of birding today. Female Reed Bunting #notamoth

14/7 last night, which included 3 nfy in Brindled Pug, Grey Shoulder-knot, and Hebrew Character. And Satellite was nfg. Also, Clouded Drab. 8 Common Quaker and Twin-spotted Quaker. Photos not great as i had to do them in the dark. #teammoth

My best return of the year so far last night with 19/6. Clouded Drab nfy. 2 Common Plume nfy. 10 Common Quaker. Dotted Border nfg. 4 March Moth nfy. Oak Beauty nfy #teammoth

I have a few moff things tonight. Dotted Border is surprisingly NFG. 2 Common Plume and March Moth both NFY. 6 Common Quaker too #teammoth

Only my second go of the year tonight. I ran for about 3 hours. Hopes weren't high, but at least Mr Eurovsion didn't visit. 3 Common Quaker. Twin-spotted Quaker and Agonopterix heracliana/ciliella #teammoth

Well, I half-heartedly put a trap out last night. Obviously, wasn't expecting great things, but a single Early Moth was NFG, so worth it in the end #teammoth

Well, the trap is out for the first time since 13/11, and so far, not a sniff #teammoth

A Ring-necked Duck has turned up locally and shows ridiculously well down to a few yards at times. Taken with my bridge camera @derbyshirebirds.bsky.social @richardttaylor.bsky.social @chrisjacksonlrps.bsky.social @willowglass12.bsky.social

Merry Christmas to all my fellow mothers on here ☃️🎄🎅⛄️ #teammoth

I'm getting moth withdrawal symptoms #teammoth

It's still looking very promising for tonight. The wind should become lighter from the west later in the night. #teammoth

Adult Caspian Gull still at Carsington Water from Sheepwash hide this afternoon @rarebirder.bsky.social

Wyver Lane looked very different 6 years ago today. Not much water currently, but on this day, we were in severe flood @richardttaylor.bsky.social @willowglass12.bsky.social @cliveaderbys.bsky.social @chrisjacksonlrps.bsky.social

Just 3 moths last night, although I did pack in early. Lesser YU, Juniper Carpet, and Merveille du Jour, which has seen better days #teammoth

Well, if you're going to get one moth that prevents you from a Wogan, then a Merv isn't a bad one #teammoth

Last night's Clifden Nonepareil. It was a bit of a pain to photograph this morning, but perseverance paid off in the end #teammoth

Well, this was a bit unexpected #teammoth

Excuse my scruffs, I'd just come back from Wyver & was doing some shopping at Morrisons when this fella came over asking for a photo. Happy to oblige, Nige @cliveaderbys.bsky.social @richardttaylor.bsky.social @danmartinwildlife.bsky.social @willowglass12.bsky.social @chrisjacksonlrps.bsky.social

My catch so far tonight is dominated by Box tree 👀 #teammoth

Didn't expect to see another Swallow-tailed this year #teammoth

Well, let's hope the thick cloud tonight will be more favourable than the clear skies and big moon that was present last night. And surely I can do better than last night's 2/2 #teammoth
