Enjoying the snow and the mealworms. Can't get enough of Monsieur Grey Wagtail. #norfolkbirds #gardenbirds
An auspicious start to my #teammoth #yearlist 2026. A DS Pug was sitting on my actinic trap when I went to set it up tonight. It had been in my greenhouse since the snow. Still counts, eh?! ¡Vamos!

Wowsers!

Just when you think nothing is happening I get a call from the park ranger Sam Flowers at Emberton Country Park there’s a moth on the gate house wall.
What a moth Black-spotted Chestnut. To say it made our day is an understatement.

Am I being overoptimistic? All set for the onslaught. #moths2026 #teammoth #norfolkmoths

An afternoon of #terrarium building and listening to the Archers. Nailing life. #miniworlds #houseplants #gardening

Call me a genius, but just invented these little drinking stations for the current conditions. #Birds are all telling their mates.

Still not really the right conditions for trapping, here in VC27. Neaumoins, I'm enjoying the snow ❄️ and keeping the #birds well fed and watered. #teammoth Traps stowed in the warm and dry.

Taking my first steps into the world of #terrarium keeping. This was a very calming process. Hopefully, it will thrive. If not, I can just start again. #miniworlds #houseplants #gardening

Just checked the traps. No #moths 🤔. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Been shopping to get my #terrarium career up and running. Time to plan my first decent sized one. #plants #miniworld

Well, temps will probably hit zero tonight and the moon is at 94%. Nothing for it but to double team and get this #teammoth #yearliststarted. ¡Vamos!

Grey Wagtail already on the 2026 Garden List 😊. You will notice the MV lead in shot, ready for the new #teammoth #yearlist to kick off ce soir. #norwichbirds. old Catton, VC27

First #terrarium experiment. Just a little spice jar one while I wait to get more supplies.

Just a single Mottled Umber to the MV in VC27, Old Catton. Better than a slap in the face. #teammoth

Well, I was sorting the greenhouse out and it pretty much plugged itself in. #teammoth

Best Christmas present so far a nfg Grey Wagtail. #norfolkbirds

Two Mottled Umber came to the actinic hier soir in VC27. Also, what appears to be a Feathered Thorn caterpillar was schmoozing along nearby. I'm going to rear it.

Could be that that's it for trapping until Jan 1st, looking at the weather. However....

Finalement, a Winter #Moth, on my bedroom window. The last species to add to my 2025 list? Maybe, maybe not. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

In this photo you can see all the #moths I caught last night. #teammoth
