Beautiful. Not seen one for years. Sadly, they last bred in Devon in 1979.

I just put it your photo through Obsidentify and that says 100% Eastern alchymist. I will watch answers with interest

Are you thinking Eastern Alchymist? What others are you thinking of?

I assumed the Alchymist

Wow. Just looked that one up

Thank you. They were a nice surprise

Fluted Birds-nest #Fungi from Pullabrook Woods on Dartmoor. Amazingly beautiful, and tiny.

They should combine that with the quiz. A dull draw

Woke up to a great skua outside my tent!

Camping tip: if a bonxie parks itself outside your tent, just accept you’re the guest!! 🤣

Fantastic Martine. Really pleased for you 😀

No, not poisonous, but I suppose intending to break up the outline and appear threatening. They are beautiful

Thanks Ruth

Thank you. I suppose this summer has created all the necessary conditions for a second generation.
Wish I had a better picture 🙂

I think this is a Waved Umber #moth in the trap this morning, confirmation or otherwise welcome. Seems a bit late in the season

It's where mine landed. If only I was taller I would have had a better picture 🙂

Yes, and better once I realised what it was!

I saw one land on a tree right in front of me on July. Lovely

GC Grebe maybe?

Yes, but now wondering about nuthatch

Kingfisher on the table I think

Think of those of us who do verification for BC! Stay calm 🙂

Have a nest in the garden. We put down fruit for them close to the entrance.Everyone is happy

That's an Oak Eggar

A Comma #caterpillar is a smart thing.

Sainfoin from Winterborne Downs in Wiltshire for #wildflowerhour not sure I have seen this before

Went to try and see Purple Emperor, came away with Dark Crimson Underwing, Dusky Sallow & a Sulphur Pearl. All new for me...no Emperor mind, but no need to mention that.
