5.3.26. First trap of the year was pretty good with a lifer March Moth (2), 4th garden Dotted Border, 2 Oak Beauty and a Diurnea fagella amongst the usual suspects. #teammoth

No problem. Nice to see my pics being used
Thought I recognised that last photo 😂
Impressive stuff. Best start saving!
I took that photo on 6th May. Can’t remember it being found in February but I do remember I’d slipped a disc so that’s probably why it took me so long to see it
I thought I recognised that last photo 😂
Best photo I’ve seen of the Yellowthroat. Certainly better than the ones I took anyway!
Felt he wasn’t being backed in the transfer window with who he wanted so left
So it’s 26 years since the Lade Canvasback and the story from the late great Dunge local Ray Turley getting a message relayed to him from his wife Janet saying someone’s called to say there’s a Canvas Bag at Lade GP’s! 🤷🏻♂️😂
Great day in Hampshire with Brendon Fagan. My 2nd UK Killdeer was the highlight. The Great-tailed Grackle took his time to show but show well he did. Little Gull, White-tailed Eagle and Great Northern Diver the best of 9 year ticks. #ukbirding 🦉 🪶
When it’s good here it good to very good but slightest breeze or clear sky and numbers tumble
Cheating a bit as one night there were c.2000 mixed ermine moths. I had to walk away for a while as I was smothered in them!
Finally finished my 2025 moth records.
12 Traps
281 Species
5005 Moths
10 Garden Ticks
4 Lifers
The Jersey Mocha is my first since I found Herts first record and I also had a garden second Blastobasis rebeli which is a 3rd for Herts (my garden first was Herts second record)! #teammoth
Ah yes so you did 🤦🏻♂️😂
Now you tell me!
Hi Chris. Check eBay. I recently picked up a brand new one as a spare for £30. Here’s one on there at the moment.

Great Bustard in London would be good too
Yeah once it developed into summer plumage 😂
Yep legged it down the path, got on it only for it to fly into trees I’d been looking at for 3 hours!
A year ago today I had my final tick of 2024 with the stunning Yellow Warbler at New Hythe GP’s,Kent. It looked better than my photos would lead you to believe so here’s a pic of my stuffed one as well 😂 #ukbirding 🪶
Well merry Christmas to everyone. I hope you all get what you asked for. Have a good day 🎅🏻 🎄 🥃 🍻
Thanks mate. I’ve not ticked too many birds in Devon
Thanks Andy
Thanks. Yeah though not one I’d have expected to see in December!

Ah ok yes that now rings a bell. 12 years makes the memory fuzzy 🤪😂
The Dorset Brunnich’s was found on the 26th
@callumlaing.bsky.social why have you followed me? Where in my profile does it say I own a business or do investing? Do you have an interest in anything mentioned on my profile?
Prefer the background colour on the list. Much easier on the eyes!
