and a bit of a Hawk-moth fest.
Your annual reminder that if you only know one bramble make it Rubus armeniacus Himalayan Giant, the only truly invasive non-native bramble. Discolores (chalk white on leaf undersides), orange-green stems with contrasting red prickles. Huge in all parts. Overtops native communities. #BrambleDuJour
Four-spotted Footman - male

A modest 47:24 on the London roof terrace this morning, the wind perhaps a bit too strong here. Three more NFY though, with the blingy micros Lozotaenoides formosana and Gold Triangle, plus my 700th Box-tree Moth. #TeamMoth
Morning rain hampered processing 😬. A few quick photos of some nfy macros as I have a funeral to attend 😌
Micros will have to settle in the fridge. Slightly disappointing numbers but the trap was covered from the rain. #TeamMoth
The end of the notebook era
From battered notebooks to eBird lists, David Campbell charts his journey from pen to phone – and wonders why he misses the old ways, even as he embraces the new:
This week’s challenge is #PollinatorPals! Find a flowering wild or naturalised plant with a pollinating visitor & snap away. Of course it’s not just about bees! Butterflies, moths, wasps, flies & beetles can be #pollinators too! Share your pics for #Wildflowerhour Sunday 8-9pm 🪲🦋🪰🐝
