@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.
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.
@norfolkmoths.bsky.social poor weather, birding absences and diminishing returns the order of recent weeks. 39/26 with vestal, pine carpet, lilac beauty and black rustic NFY. All my underwings, alas, are yellow! #teammoth#norfolkmoths#moths
@norfolkmoths.bsky.social You know times are a bit thin when I’m posting (albeit large-ish) NFY micros (yellow belle and golden triangle),a nice shot of a ruby tiger and another pale eggar.It seems like everyone else is plucking Clifden Nonpareils off fences and walls! #teammoth#norfolkmoths
@norfolkmoths You know things are stalling when I’m going to NFY micros (albeit large-ish Golden Triangle and Yellow Belle), a nice shot of a Ruby Tiger and another Pale Eggar. Mothing morale low when seeing Clifden Nonpareil apparently everywhere…else! #teammoth#notfolkmoths#moths
