145/29 is a good night for our garden in VC37. Lots of nfy including Lynchis, Short cloaked Moth, Udea olivalis, Beautiful hook-tip and most interesting Maple Snout (Anarsia innoxiella) - quite uncommon in Worcs I think #teammoth
Thanks to @wheatearlp.bsky.social lending me his lures I’ve added Yellow-legged (last year), Red-belted and Red-tipped Clearwing to the garden moth list in VC37. I can see a purchase at Anglian leps being made! #teammoth
This weekend, UK birdwatchers will be counting Wetland Birds for @btobirds.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @jncc.bsky.social.
With most waders away, breeding, this is a great opportunity to count non-breeding 'teenagers'.
Why are they important?
