One of the main things that inspired me to become an entomologist was watching the BBC's Lost Land of the Volcano & specifically @georgemcgavin.bsky.social standing on the volcano edge surrounded by the most wondrous moths!

Uploaded a provisional review of migrant moths at Portland in 2024. Decent enough year, perhaps just lacking one or two real high grade rarities; highlights: 7 new species for the island + record annual totals of Olive-tree Pearl, Gem and Scarce Bordered Straw

Near Ormesby I watched a Male Marsh Harrier flying around. It then saw a Mallard carcass in the field, which it then tried to fly off with, unfortunately it was to heavy. It then proceeded to rip it apart in the company of 2 Carrion Crows.

A walk down the beach didn’t produce much so decided to give Ormesby broad a look , it was frozen over but a lovely Kingfisher sat patiently in the only open part. At Clippesby/Oby there were 41 Crane near a maize crop, great to hear there “whooping” the most I’ve seen #NorfolkBirds

Happy New Year #teammoth! I've been working on the first complete moth website for Durham alongside a few others, the result of which is here. I hope it is useful and interesting to recorders in the area and beyond! There are, no doubt, improvements/corrections– if you spot anything, do let me know.
