Terry

It's great to see you back. Presumably the seals have been awaiting your arrival and voted that guy to welcome you!!
I assume the Puffins, Guillemots and Razorbills will be getting together soon to
organise a party???
Have a good year.
Cheers Terry and Chris.

Soon coming back to Mull, should not wish your life away, but for Mull, yes!!

#Redsquirrels Words can't describe what I feel when I remember taking this in my garden. Woodland felled without a thought for them. Enjoy!!

Rather a rough day at Spittal yesterday.

Anymore nuts for the feeder??
Before the woodland was felled, this was a regular question.

Before the woodland was felled this was the view from my garden. Sadly missed!!!

@northwildlife.bsky.social @naturescotland.bsky.social @steelyseabirder.bsky.social Visit to Hauxley Nature Reserve this week. A fine Goldeneye and a Snipe well hidden. Heron having a wash and brush up.

Tonight's programme was one of the best I have watched. The final moments with the foals was awesome.

@hamzayassin.bsky.social Brilliant programme tonight, thanks.
We had, for 20+ years Red Squirrel in our garden, great memories watching your set.
Also saw Pine Martin on our journey to the ferry on Mull, each time I drive past the location will it to appear!!

Weather changing now, but memories from last week will linger on.

New visitor to our garden, possibly resident. A few years since our last pair.

Moth trap light bulb packed up last week, new one from @nhbs.bsky.social instant success! 3 Garden Tigers visited last night. #Ukmoths @mothiduk.bsky.social @ukbutterflies.bsky.social @northwildlife.bsky.social @steelyseabirder.bsky.social

Many thanks, Terry.

Is this a Mottled Beauty? Thanks for your advice.
#Ukmoths @mothiduk.bsky.social @ukbutterflies.bsky.social

Thanks for the information, I was misled by my old moth field guide, which seemed to indicate it was to be seen in August. More reading got me there in the end.
Cheers Terry.

I'm not sure what this moth is.
Any help is much appreciated.
#UKMoths @ukbutterflies.bsky.social @mothiduk.bsky.social

The Hawkmoth, which came into my trap a couple of days ago, is still here. Not sure if I should be charging rent!!
Fell out today, managed to pick it up, and put it back safely.

Visited Hauxley NNR today, at least 7 Avocet seen.
Chatted to the team about nesting. This photo seems to show possible nesting. Let's wait and see.

No longer complaining about lack of moths in my trap.
Last night, this visitor came, Poplar Hawkmoth.

Perhaps it followed me home!! Thanks.

Another Beetle, this on Mull.
Help me with ID please.

Any ideas who this beetle is, in my summer house in Northumberland.

Hello Tom, Sorry for not thanking you earlier for your advice. I think I will have to buy an mv bulb.
A few years ago, the owner of the land around me cut down the woodland, although there is regeneration moth numbers have reduced.
Positive thinking is needed.
Cheers, Terry.

Two Deer watching me watching them, possibly!!!!.
Might be poor photo's but 'Magic moments on Mull'.
