Works busier than it should be this time of year 😤🤣 get into a work, moth, sleep repeat pattern 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks Steve, hope you are well 👍🏻👍🏻

Not posted for ages - life before socials I guess. This feels worthy though. Had a new to VC55 Last night, kindly confirmed and photographed by our CMR for me.

Last night was completely different, breezy and bright. Numbers much lower, I didn’t manage a full count just sorted out the NFG which were:-
Campion (Picture don’t show the subtle greens and pinks)
Clouded-bordered Brindle

Poplar Hawk wasn’t NFG but lovely to see non the less
#VC55Moths #Teammoth

Certainly worse ways haha, fortunately it was only a minor one and think I am fitter than before 😀

#teammoth

It all started last season after a Heart attack, me pal Geoff (who’s currently trapping all sorts in Wales) I found him a Chinese Character which he duly twitched. Licking my wounds off work a Moth trap was built, first victim was Orange Swift, had his Cousin last night Common Swift 😬

Thanks Steve, late for another meeting 🤣🤣

They come in the most amazing colours - understated but really cool I reckon. Reminds me of tie dye🤣

Had a mega night last night - biggest yet. 108 - 44 species and still working through some Pug.
