Thanks Phil. Hopefully useful to those of us in parts of the country where they're not an everyday bird. Well, not yet. 😄

Well, that *is* a strange coincidence.
The club will probably be small and odd. 😄

*mothing*, not nothing. 😄

Update. The Devon Moth Recorder has just given my photos the thumbs-up. Mompha jurassicella, new to Devon. 😯

A bizarre and unexpected start to Devon nothing. 😄

Ha ha! 😄 And yes, the Mompha. I do intend to make contact with the Devon Moth Recorder at some point, so we'll see what happens then. Obviously it's on *my* list already, but I don't have standards to worry about!

It's moth-speak, and means 9 moths of 8 species.

'That'll never happen again' is a phrase I could use for far too many species in far too many places...

Why?

As well as all the ecological reasons and their myriad depressing causes, sadly another is simply age...😒
