Woke up to a great skua outside my tent!

Camping tip: if a bonxie parks itself outside your tent, just accept you’re the guest!! 🤣

Thank you. I suppose this summer has created all the necessary conditions for a second generation.
Wish I had a better picture 🙂

I think this is a Waved Umber #moth in the trap this morning, confirmation or otherwise welcome. Seems a bit late in the season

Went to try and see Purple Emperor, came away with Dark Crimson Underwing, Dusky Sallow & a Sulphur Pearl. All new for me...no Emperor mind, but no need to mention that.

Same for me, but more expected on Dartmoor
