Amaryllis Belladonna known as Jersey Lily, probably more appropriate being Azores Lily.
The bird list in coming along nicely. Is that a huge patch of Hydrangea's in the foreground.
This Tuta Absoluta (tomato leafminer) trap overnight 7/10 at Broadwey Dorset, have attached my poor image. Phil Sterling has now confirmed id. @paulupwey.bsky.social @migrantmothuk.bsky.social
As expected you are getting to see some great wildlife.
PS, have sent a reply to your email.
Well certainly did not expect to see that. So what other oddity will be seen.
With thanks to @paulupwey.bsky.social for the id of this Hellula undalis, Old World Webworm. A new moth from my Broadwey Dorset trap.
Have a great time, hopefully you have taken the remnants of Storm Amy with you so I get a chance at the Moths.
Just had a Wall butterfly in my Broadwey garden @dorsetbutterflies.bsky.social. did not stay for a pic.
The BG's are still avoiding my trap, that is a smart semifascia.
Pink-barred Sallow was the only moth of interest from last nights Broadwey Dorset trap.
Clancy's Rustic and Grey Shoulder-knot from last nights Broadwey Dorset trap.
Bit of a surprise to have Buff Arches in last nights Broadwey Dorset trap.
So you are still getting Clancy's, they just do not like my traps this year.
Brindled Green not got here yet this year, but I know where the Black Rustic's have been, the 2 (field trap) I had this morning makes it 7 so far. But like you not much else around, tonight and tomorrow could be better.
You did very well keeping Brie happy for so long.
Always used to get GS's at the small cress beds down the road from Magiston. Probably no longer used now.
So some good birds again at Silverlake, any chance you can point a Clancy's this way, not had one so far this year and the BS would also be appreciated.
Feathered Brindle and Black Rustic from last nights Broadwey Dorset trap.
That is a cracking Brindled Green, your traps were as underwhelming as mine.
Again you did a lot better than me. Would like to see the W-l Snout if you still have it.
At least you had a bit of variety, boring here with LYU's, Square-spot's and I have never seen so many D-s Pugs, there were 5 RDP's.
You certainly did better than me, Cypress Pug and Lunar U'wing were FFY's. If you still have the E extimalis I would like to see it.
Still good things for you at Silverlake.
You had more variety than me, that's a nice Phyllonorycter and not had any Lunar's here so far. Like you will probably not bother for next couple of nights.
