25 May 1982 // Destroyer HMS Coventry was attacked by Argentine aircraft north of the Falklands and hit by three bombs, two of which exploded. Extensive flooding caused her to capsize and sink with 19 men lost and one man dying later from his injuries. (Imperial War Museum images, details below)
Some moths at last, including Bordered Straw, Currant Clearwing, Seraphim and what looks like Neofaculta ericetella. Also a Hummingbird Hawk-moth and eleven Painted Ladies on the red valerian in the garden (VC 61). #teammoth #YorkshireMoths @doublekidney.bsky.social @migrantmothuk.bsky.social
After yesterday's Currant Clearwing, I got a Red-tipped Clearwing today. Both were ~2 weeks earlier than my previous earliest garden record. Also had an early Common Footman recently, apparently only a day later than the earliest Yorkshire record. #teammoth #YorkshireMoths @doublekidney.bsky.social
Some interesting moths in the last couple of nights, including Tawny Pinion (new for the garden), Chocolate-tip, Waved Umber, Streamer, Brindled Beauty, Grey Shoulder-knot, etc. #teammoth #YorkshireMoths @doublekidney.bsky.social
Just my second garden (VC 61) record of Chamomile Shark in 16 years, from a few nights ago. #teammoth #YorkshireMoths @doublekidney.bsky.social
A video (it was dark!) of midwife toads calling in Woodsetts, South Yorkshire, last night. Could hear them all down the street! #teamtoad @ynuorg.bsky.social
Some moths that recently emerged from #leafmines collected in the autumn: Phyllonorycter lautella (oak), P. harrisella (oak), P. blancardella (apple) and P. viminiella (willow). #TeamMoth #YorkshireMoths
Some vacated Phyllonorycter lantanella mines in South Yorkshire (VC 63) today, the first time I've found them on Viburnum tinus 'in the wild'. Also a Pammene giganteana to a SKI lure in East Yorkshire (VC 61). #teammoth #YorkshireMoths @doublekidney.bsky.social

A miracle has occurred in my garden. After making a complete hash of potting a Ni Moth in the morning, I netted what was surely the same individual nectaring on red valerian last night. Off to buy a lottery ticket now. #teammoth #YorkshireMoths @doublekidney.bsky.social @migrantmothuk.bsky.social
