Wildlife, walking, wandering about with binoculars. Quite a lot of butterflies
Fluted Birds-nest #Fungi from Pullabrook Woods on Dartmoor. Amazingly beautiful, and tiny.

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.

A Yellow-legged Clearwing sitting on a roadside hedge this afternoon. Delighted 🙂

A trip to Somerset before the rain produced brief views of Grizzled Skipper and my first couple of Marbled White of the year

Another in an occasional series of videos, where wildlife doesn't do much. This time featuring a slightly annoyed Lesser-stag Beetle, who objected to me trying to move him from the road

Ooofff. Chequered Skipper from Allt Mhuic reserve, near Fort William. Pleased with the photo because the sun was so bright I couldn't see anything on my phone screen 🙂

Pearl-Bordered Fritillary from Ramshorn Down, Devon. I think there were 7, but not a single other species seen there.

Pin sharp Lesser-spotted Woodpecker from Dartmoor on Saturday afternoon 😀 @lesserspotnet.bsky.social
Kept returning to the same tree, despite being moved on a couple of times by possibility a second bird

Early Thorn moth. First out of the trap this morning
April 12, 2025 at 4:52 PM
An Early Grey #moth from last nights trap. I think new for me, but I don't often try this early in the year
