Happy First Gotcha Day to our beautiful rescue Harry A year full of doggy love & doggy 💋💋💋 of which Harry has in abundance.

First Red line Quaker of the autumn in South Norwich this morning. #norfolkmoths

A quick scout with the torch before bed & bingo🥳 Merveille du jour South Norwich #norfolkmoths

I found this birding book along the side of the road on the Tamiami trail in the Everglades on 8/25/25. It is so well loved with sightings going back decades. If you're a birder (I am not) please spread the word and hep me find the owner so they can be reunited

Ok #waitrose you win. You’ve been flashing your recipe for Dorset Apple Cake at me every time I pick my phone up, so to keep you quiet & me occupied in the rain, given it a go. And the verdict? Absolutely blooming gorgeous 🥳 So in fact win win to me😂🏅

Norwich promenaders getting ready to bob up & down 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 #rulebritannia #lastnightoftheproms

Well didn’t expect to see Brian May on Last Night of the Proms. Brilliant🥳

Came home to this sat at the end of our drive this afternoon!! Has now been rescued by the appropriate folk & put somewhere safe

Been to a talk about this fantastic charity today. East Coast Truckers (100) take disabled children to Yarmouth on Aug bank holiday. My friend Chris has volunteered there for 30 odd yrs. Made me quite emotional & tearful to think there are decent folk still in this bleak world bringing comfort & joy

A new moth for our garden in South Norwich today. Lilac Beauty, initially I thought there was something wrong with it as its wings seemed sort of crumpled, then I saw most on Norfolk Moths looked the same. It wasn’t having a photo shoot & was soon off👋🏻 #norfolkmoths

Excellent presentation by Ben @benlewisuk.bsky.social to our village garden club tonight Thank Ben👍

The Cellar House in Eaton does a damn fine £12 on Tuesdays deal. Today my friends & I had Sea Trout, New potatoes & Samphire. Superb 🌟

A second evening at Bergh Apton Hall entertained by “Lutestring” & their music dedicated to Moths. We’d set our moth traps up but with the huge moon brought along a few we’d caught the night before, true Blue Peter style. A think we may have converted a few folk to join The Dark Side!!

A great evening of moths & music last night in Bergh Apton

Time to stock up for autumn casseroles 🥘🍲 Looks like 💨 & ☔️ on the way in South Norwich

Join us for International Bat Night, this Saturday (30th August) at 7:30pm, Bullock Park, Mill Road, Shipdham. A talk about bats, children’s activities, then a guided walk around the local area to see if we can spot our batty neighbours!

U3A Travel Club today, a “Birders Special” expedition voyage from New Zealand to Tokyo, visiting islands rarely ventured to by tourists. One of The Solomon Islands hadn’t seen a tourist for 9 years, just amazing history & scenery. A real wow factor

My second Four-spotted footman of the year in south Norwich🥳 #norfolkmoths

Now I wonder what The Best Beloved will fancy watching tonight???🤔😉 #lifelonggtfcsupporter #tookmeonfirstdatetherein1967😫

A new plant for me this morning whilst wandering around the UEA Common Toadflax. Simply gorgeous

Something I learnt today - 3 Orange Swift, I had no idea of the size difference between male & female #southnorwich #norfolkmoths PS, they are very alive, just waking up, all flown now

Clay Triple Lines nearly escaped me as it was high up on the garage wall, presumed it was a Maidens Blush, then had second thoughts & got the step ladder out, bingo, new for the year #southnorwich #norfolkmoths

Autumn has arrived at High Ash Farm, Norfolk. The Skinner family certainly make sure there is plenty of food for our feathered friends this winter. Above the skies are bursting with hirundines, soon to be on their way I guess 👋🏻

Chatting with a chap who was carving into a dead tree in Earlham Crem, Norwich, only took him a day & I think the result is outstanding. Love it😊

Always lovely to see the first Frosted Orange of the autumn #norfolkmoths

Little did I know………. 🤣 #norfolkmoths

New yearly visitors to our South Norwich moth trap last night Centre barred Sallow Scarce Bordered Straw #norfolkmoths

My first for this year, Small Rananculus What a glorious little moth #norfolkmoths South Norwich

I wondered if we’d be fortunate to trap a Clifden Nonpariel this year in South Norwich & bingo🥳 On the egg box underneath was a Red Underwing that escaped, I simply wasn’t ready with 2 large pots together🙄

Normally moan & groan about the volume of music coming from Earlham Park (a stones throw away) but last night one of my favourite bands - McFly were performing & we couldn’t hear a thing🤷‍♀️ Yes I know, It’s Not All About Me😫

No words are enough, he was so loved

South Norwich last night Twin Spot Wainscot & Vine Moth, which was impossible to get a decent pic of #norfolkmoths

Vastly reduced numbers in the moth trap in South Norwich today, however Brown-veined Wainscot was new for me & our garden 😊 #norfolkmoths

Just when did crab salad cease to be served without the 🦀??? Very nice though but I did miss the shell!! #girlslunch😋

Very quiet in South Norwich last night. The only new visitor to our garden was a Six Spotted Rustic, a sign of summer moving into autumn I guess #norfolkmoths

Peaceful coffee time at UEA Campus #nostudents

Aliens over the garden 😳

My first Jersey Tiger in the Actinic trap in South Norwich today. Never clapped eyes on one before, what a beautiful monster of a moth, sadly was off the minute I took a photo so couldn’t catch its glorious orange underwings. #norfolkmoths

Can’t remember if this is the 6th or 7th Gypsy moth this year, but being as I usually only see one all summer it’s a 🥳

Well said Patrick

A few from South Norwich today 1st Straw Underwing of the autumn, Reed Veneer & a couple of Webbs Wainscot. Still a nice variety, 60 species #norfolkmoths

An interesting & varied catch in South Norwich last night New for the year were Toadflax Brocade & Square Spot Clay

#autumn #firstapplepie

Not many moths in our trap in South Norwich last night, our 2nd elegant Ghost moth of the year was good😊

A couple of micro moths from South Norwich this morning Small Fan-foot & Lathronympha strigana #norfolkmoths

The first Marbled Beauty of the autumn to visit our South Norwich garden last night #norfolkmoths

From my moth trap today in South Norwich. New in Twin-spotted Wainscot and Brown China-Mark simply because it makes me smile, it’s so pretty😊 #norfolkmoths
