Dark Sword Grass amongst the migrants to by garden in VC67. The migration of this moth and others such as the Diamond Back just blows my mind #teammoth #mothsmatter#darkswordgrass #migration #whatsflyingtonight #northumberland #VC67 #northumberlandnature #northeastnature

Good to see a Lesser Whitethroat in spring rather than autumn and to get clear (ish) view. Definitely #BirdOfTheDay. #birds #northumberland #migrants #whitethroat #aves #ukbirds @btobirds.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social

Not a lot happening to update #teammoth in my garden in #VC67. Only 5/3 but at least one was the beautiful #streamer. #mothsmatter #whatsflyingtonight #northumberland #butterfliesamdmoths #nightlife

A poor night with 6/5 in my Warkworth Garden although this Lunar Marbled Brown and an Early Tooth Stripe were NFY. My neighbour’s always on security light may not be helping #teammoth #whatsflyingtonight #mothsmatter @savebutterflies.bsky.social #warkworth #northumberland #VC67

A bumper day of nature was rounded off by this lovely male Redstart that happened to be hanging about across the road from my favourite ice cream parlour. #birds #northumberland #stunday #ukwildlife #redstart #naturephotography #warkworth #wildlifephotography #ukbirds
