Pretty much the same here, add in that the dog poo bins don’t get emptied, and the bags are now floating around 🤬

A truly epic Pug congratulations! Not jealous in the slightest 😭

I’ve had enough of the rain now! It’s good that the reservoir water levels are high but both me and the dog hate getting wet on walkies 🐕

Good luck Ruth, sounds promising if it’s dry, providing you’ve got some temperature to go with it

Good luck it’s wazzing down here (again)

What and miss all those spring moths! Heretic, take yourself outside and give yourself a stern talking to 🫣🤣

Snow, ffs will this dire weather never end? 🙄🤬

Not good, we’re still not out of the grips of that damn Irish man

More worrying is he is getting moths and you ain’t! Does that mean the mini ice age in the bottom has passed? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think you should lay the blame for that squarely at the door of @dominiccollins.bsky.social
You wouldn’t have tried if he hadn’t of led you astray

That’s a good way to kick off the year! A nicely marked one as well, though they are incredibly variable in their markings.

24/5 last night in SE Hants. Colder but less wet than forecast conditions probably cut moth numbers, as did heavy showers late afternoon/early evening. Nothing new but 6 Dotted Border was a garden record and double the previous best, for what is an uncommon moth for me #teammoth

Uncommon and nothing recently in my 10km square.

Brilliant trapping Hannah, a Small Brindled would be a NFG for me!

Bravo Dom 👏🏻

Moth parkour! Could be a new branch to the hobby 🫣

It certainly has that vibe about it. I don’t suppose you have any better photos?

They can be a bit of a bugger

It is still in the Wogan part of the year, but I’m not feeling overly optimistic about the coming trapping season☹️

There you go, a perfect summary of my botany abilities. It’s probably a fly, I think I’ve been down this avenue before. Or not. I’m still one caffeine drink short of operational functioning 😴

A micro? Are you feeling alright? Is this the year that you turn? It’s a very nice moth if you look at it closely 🙏🏻

Worth it then. Mobilise is a good word, very underused. I think I’m going to mobilise myself to get out of bed and be useful. I haven’t decided how but I’m mobilised nevertheless 🤔

I’d agree on that one. Not exactly common down here but listed as spreading

I can’t even identify the tree 😆

It’s been a slow year……

It’s a start, ease your way back in there’s no rush, though I’m not sure you’ve ever come across as the rushing type 😉
Well there’s not much point anyway in these times of biblical rain.

Sometimes I find the second good night in a row is the best one. But don’t hold me to that 🤪

Same here!

Nice first year and yes to start trapping with the caveat that your trap needs to be rainproof 😆

In my defence they were mostly alternella
