Mine are all in a book as I tend to loose pieces of paper! This book has every trap I've done from 2023 - 2025, uploaded to iRecord when I can and I download the spreadsheet when I want. I have my own little codes, dots for ?NFG, * for best in the box etc and can keep track of species by season

Remember a little while ago I said that the Joint Derbyshire moth Verification and Recording Team had been shortlisted for the @nbntrust.bsky.social awards? We only went and won it! Thank you @spinneybirder.bsky.social for your wonderful company! #teammoth #VC57

My first ever Spoonbill on the rocks of Castillo Caleta de Fuste, Fuerteventura. Accidently turning into a birding holiday with a Ruddy Turnstone and Little Egret from the apartment balcony

A better picture of yesterday's Clifden nonpareil. Three were caught in my town over the weekend from two traps in two gardens at either end of the town, the other two much better examples than this one!

It might be battered, it might be bruised, it might be a terrible photo through the side of my child's pooter because I didn't have anything big enough at hand, but I don't care, because look what I got!!!!!

250ish of 48 this morning, rained a fair amount and trod on a slug. Dark-Barred twin-spot carpet best of the bunch. Bordered pug NFG.
