Do you think there's any way of judging whether individual Red Admirals are migrants or residents? Or is it really just a case of: if you're near the coast and a lot turn up, they probably came from somewhere else?

Trees and pub lore! It doesn't get better than that 🙂

That's brilliant. Thank you!

Thank you!

Is it possible to identify the species of Speedwell? I feel like they can be a difficult group to separate, but that might just be me 🙂

Had my first Chiffchaff in the garden this week, near Exeter (had heard one out and about a few days earlier).

Not the most complex or tuneful birdsong, but I always love hearing them announce the arrival of Spring.

Was planning to put my trap out tonight (first time since moving house across the country). Raining here in Devon at the moment, but if it eases up later as forecast then I'll set up the trap and see what I get...
