Well done on the moths, hope the OR and W-speck are around tomorrow as hopefully get the trap out then.

Silverlake still producing some good birds for you.

At least that made it worth the effort for you. Here I had to clear out loads of Caddisflies, to find RDP x12, Turnip x2, FT, with couple each LYU and R-l Q. Tonight looks like a no go.

At least there was something of interest for you along the Fleet, bit ahead of you as have had 2 R-g C's, tonight looks like a total "blow-out" and then a "wash-out" but we will see.

Well done, another well deserved find in your garden.

Still some good stuff at Silverlake, cannot remember having any recent Diamond-back's, must be well over a month ago.

I did wonder which "patch" you would visit today. Still waiting for a White-speck.

Nice to see the "feather's" on a Feathered Thorn, this has to be the smallest Shuttle-shaped Dart I have seen, it was tiny. From the Broawey Dorset trap.

Unusual for Silverlake to be that quiet, nice pic of the Mipit.
My trap, R-l Q x2, L Wain, Merv and LBAM x2. Might give the field a go tonight.

Well done on the moths, no OR here so far, certainly will not be here for next couple of nights as giving this storm a miss.

Only oddity in last nights Broadwey Dorset trap was this Yellow-tail.

Well done on the Tern, the H&D would of been nice in my trap as it was very sparse, just 9 moths.

Well done, must be a little bit WET at Silverlake today.

Every single one of them richly deserved.

So Silverlake still providing good birds and great to see all those Ivy Bee burrows.

Always nice to get a Flame Brocade in the Broadwey Dorset trap.

Grey Pine Carpet and Chestnut not got here so far.

So why did my garden irrigation system not work this morning, just a leaf over the sensor. No! it was my first Golden Twin-spot here in my Broadwey Dorset garden, with a Merv in my trap.

Another good find in your garden. The Beech hedge reveals another species.

That is a great haul from the ex Trout Farm, could be some real surprises there in the future.

With not much else in the Broadwey trap, at least one of @paulupwey.bsky.social Brindled Green's finally got to me.

Bit concerning when a Kingfisher is using a boat.

Pleased to see you are back and finding some nice birds.

Cracking images, so that means you are back and my moth count will now drop to single digits. Looking forward to more Azores images.

Amaryllis Belladonna known as Jersey Lily, probably more appropriate being Azores Lily.

The bird list in coming along nicely. Is that a huge patch of Hydrangea's in the foreground.
