My 1st moth of the year, a Common Quaker found by the outside light, #Caerleon #gwentmoths

Thanks for the reply, when we're the invites sent out?

How was this advertised / who was invitied Julian?

Bit calmer this morning and better light #marshsand, #gwentbirds

A pleasent evening watching the rising tide at Peterstone, Gwent, turned a little manic in the final minutes before the mud was covered, when looking through the Redshank flock I found a Marsh Sandpiper, ooossh, County 1st!!!! Manage to relocate the bird about 45 mins later

Bordered Straw the highlight this morning in the Caerleon moth trap, others included a Snout, Copper Underwing agg, Pale Mottled Willow #gwentmoths

Cheers

@hewittkvnvc35.bsky.social hi Kevin Small Mottled Willow in the Caerleon trap this morning

@mothiduk.bsky.social would you be able to confirm if this is a Small Mottled Willow? #Caerleon #gwentmoths

Err, we're these pictures supposed to be depicting a Pochard? The images you've displayed are of male Wigeon and Red Crested Pochard, both entirely different species to the Pochard

Better image of the Sharp-angled Peacock. Also Sallow Kitten from last night

Sharp-angles Peacock #NFG, Purple Thorn and Mocha the highlights of last night's moth trap. #caerleonmoths
