Two yellow wagtails out on the marsh at Steart this morning. They were calling and occasionally flying at several places along the pathway to the south side of the breach. Warblers were everywhere with 2 lesser whitethroats in the hedge along the Parrett end of Otterhampton marsh. #somersetbirding

Herts. and Middx. Moth Group ( @lizgoodyear.bsky.social et al.,) hit the big time last night on BBC's "Have I got news for you" presented by (of all people, friend to moths) Monty Don, when the brilliantly named "Moth Mumblings" newsletter got a mention. Good episode, too. #teammoth
