Just 2 #moths #teammoth last night at Ormesby in the mist . A lovely Mottled Umber NFY and LBAM , it’s a start ! @norfolkmoths.bsky.social

Near Ormesby I watched a Male Marsh Harrier flying around. It then saw a Mallard carcass in the field, which it then tried to fly off with, unfortunately it was to heavy. It then proceeded to rip it apart in the company of 2 Carrion Crows.

A walk down the beach didn’t produce much so decided to give Ormesby broad a look , it was frozen over but a lovely Kingfisher sat patiently in the only open part. At Clippesby/Oby there were 41 Crane near a maize crop, great to hear there “whooping” the most I’ve seen #NorfolkBirds

#moths are simply stunning, Part 2 the macros, so many to choose from in 2024 with 13 nfgarden. A long awaited first being Lesser Swallow Prominent one that eluded me for years! Here’s to many more for us all in 2025 #teammoth #ukmoths @norfolkmoths.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social

Happy New Year #teammoth! I've been working on the first complete moth website for Durham alongside a few others, the result of which is here.
