A poor night with 6/5 in my Warkworth Garden although this Lunar Marbled Brown and an Early Tooth Stripe were NFY. My neighbour’s always on security light may not be helping #teammoth #whatsflyingtonight #mothsmatter @savebutterflies.bsky.social #warkworth #northumberland #VC67

A bumper day of nature was rounded off by this lovely male Redstart that happened to be hanging about across the road from my favourite ice cream parlour. #birds #northumberland #stunday #ukwildlife #redstart #naturephotography #warkworth #wildlifephotography #ukbirds

Moth numbers increased with our 1st plus 6 degree night . Love getting pristine moths in the trap. This Common Quaker 1 of 2 with 8 HCs and 2 PBB VC67 #teammoth #mothsmatter #moths #commonquaker @britishnatureguide.bsky.social @gardenmothscheme.bsky.social #northumberlandnature #northumberland

A few more to the trap last night. The North East coastal location means numbers stay low until later than further inland #teammoth #mothsmatter #ukwildlife #butterfliesandmoths #whatsflyingtonight #moths #hebrewcharacter #chestnut
