Moths from VC57. Birds, hoverflies, bees, and just about anything in the natural world. Local patch is Wyver Lane DWT. Derbyshire.
Wyver Lane looked very different 6 years ago today. Not much water currently, but on this day, we were in severe flood @richardttaylor.bsky.social @willowglass12.bsky.social @cliveaderbys.bsky.social @chrisjacksonlrps.bsky.social

A year ago today, I'd only been trapping a few months when I was blown away by finding the first ever record of Blair's Mocha for VC57 in my south Derbyshire garden #teammoth

Just 3 moths last night, although I did pack in early. Lesser YU, Juniper Carpet, and Merveille du Jour, which has seen better days #teammoth

Excuse my scruffs, I'd just come back from Wyver & was doing some shopping at Morrisons when this fella came over asking for a photo. Happy to oblige, Nige @cliveaderbys.bsky.social @richardttaylor.bsky.social @danmartinwildlife.bsky.social @willowglass12.bsky.social @chrisjacksonlrps.bsky.social

I'm not doing great although I haven't trapped much lately. I do have Feathered Thorn tonight but it's a tad poorly after the dog stood on it 😳
