The absolutely glorious Emperor moth

Song Thrush singing its little heart out

They may be pretty common, but Blackcaps really are a smart looking bird

It's been really quiet for moths recently, this gorgeous Streamer easily being the highlight of the week

Brilliant, thank you Andy

Yeah definitely ours Andy 👍👍👍. Don't suppose you noticed the colours?

Friday moth night

Bitterly cold wind at times today but it was still sunny enough to get my first Mining Bee of the year

An absolute stunner from the lighthouse trap this morning, the Pine Beauty

Friday moth night cos Maria Thompson let me play out again

Lovely Yellow Horned moth from last night

Thursday moth night

Not going to lie, I did not expect my first Hoverfly of the year to be in my kitchen at 9.30pm at night!

That's one unlucky moth!!!

2 new moths for the year this morning, Beautiful Plume and Twin Spotted Quaker

First butterfly of the year 🦋

We're back baby!!! The return of Friday moth night 🌙

40+ moths in the lighthouse trap this morning, starting to feel like spring!

The apprenticeship begins ❤️❤️❤️

Finally starting to see some moths 🦋

Dare we say it's Spring?

It's always good to see the Fulmars returning

The poor weather meant we couldn't get the nets out yesterday at WWT Washington Wetland Centre so we ended up doing a quick site survey instead. This unexpected Red Kite was a very nice surprise!

Little poser

The glorious crown of the mighty Goldcrest

A tiny bit of colour emerging from the endless grey

First Harlequin Ladybird of the year this morning and I'm really going to go out on a limb here, I don't think it'll be the last!

Why we do what we do

Couple of geese and a couple of divers!

Just a handful of the 100+ Twite down at North Gare this morning
