What a poet, and what a novelist. Most naturalists would be very happy to have Hardy’s ‘Afterwards’ as their epitaph. He was a man who ‘used to notice such things.’

Merveille du Jour. Possibly my favourite moth.

@norfolkmoths.bsky.social 27/16 but a good crop. Clancy’s Rustic NFG, a beautiful Merveille du Jour, Sallow and Orange Sallow all NFY2 feathered thorns, 3 black rustics and 4 green-brindled crescents added some very nice colour. #teammoth #norfolkmoths #mothing

15/13 for me in VC28 : very poor. No angle shades, no merveille du jour as yet.

@norfolkmoths.bsky.social woeful 15/13 last night but some NFYs in form of brown-spot pinion and mallow, one NFG meal moth and, from Sunday, a very late rosy footman.

Can you see the airfield from the Rear Window of the Church?

johngolding.bsky.social @johngolding.bsky.social · 8d

First year I’ve not had one yet. But then, bizarrely, no Angle Shades either.

Walking a tightrope there! Brindled Green I always think of as a Merveille du Jour wannabe!

It’s good on here, Les. Less deliberating over likes!

A good day out. Hornet and at least 18 crossbills in Holkham Pines, 16 cattle egret, Firecrest and Yellow-Browed Warbler calling and, in strong winds, the short-toed lark at Snettisham.

41/18 last night. Haven’t trapped for a week or so, hence autumnal regulars. Feathered thorn, brindled green, vapourer, pink barred sallow all NFY, along with Blair’s Shoulder Knot and beaded chestnuts a plenty.
