Might well as do... the Hale lads haven't performed @daveliverbirder.bsky.social

🤣

I need a new patch 😅

😅 that's reassuring..I think..maybe 🤔

Yes..he's in the luxury zone😁

You've got a lovely patch, Jackie. Loads of potential 😁

Only the 'southern mothers' are enjoying numbers 😆

Nice pic, Dave

I'll trade you one HC 😁

Yes..a lot of birders turn to mothing😄

Agree😄

2/2 .. but if its for a bit of fun on your local patch and you don't want to miss a bird for the year list, then fine, it's a personal choice that doesn't affect anyone else...possibly. If you've got mates doing the same patch and it gets highly competitive, then it could be open to abuse/cheating

Maybe it depends on the required goal. For a photo competition, I think it's cheating. Being a great photographer shouldn't rely on AI. If everyone uses it and all the results are 110%, then it defeats the object. If it's for identification, then it's a tool..okay, but would BBRC accept AI images?

Is that the new super moth trap in the corner?😆

An interesting question. So what happens if a bird flies past and you snap a pic but you get untickable views so it can't be on your list. The pic, meanwhile, is processed, and there is a perfect image of the bird, easily identifiable.Tickable. It will open up a whole new dilemma for some people. 🤔😁

That's a beautiful moth😁

It's been 0s or 1s up here for a while...so there's got to be better times ahead 😁

Beautiful video..very noisy, but nice.. it looks like you had a frost or heavy dew... 😁

Beautiful moth. I don't know how you do it without a field guide. It must be very frustrating to catch all these moths and not know what some of them are. Aren't there any good artists who could team up with a moth-er scientist who could at least cover all the families and regularly caught species?

Fabulous 😁

I bet 😁

😁

Looks brilliant 😄

Love the Wheatear in flight😁

Twenty-plume Moth Alucita hexadactyla

Beetle - Oedemera femoralis

Moth catches still dire with the best catch for 2 weeks last night.. 3sp 5 moths. Roll on warm weather. An interesting by-catch that seems to be quite uncommon was the beetle Oedemera femoralis, a False-blister Beetle, so not all lost. Anyone into beetles can confirm it? #teammoth #beetle #oedemera

Couple of very nice moths 😁

It is😁

They eat dingos?

Wow! Have they got any predators or do they eat dingos?😅

Fabulous, Dave. That pug's nice 😁
