Any ideas on this one from this morning in Beverley East Yorks? @mothiduk.bsky.social
Obsidentify suggesting pied grey with no other suggestions.
A good catch in the trap last night from our garden in Beverley.
Over 100 moths highlights being
Coronet, silky wainscot, pebble prominent and dusky brocade.
106 moths of 28 species in St Mellion last night. Minimum temperature was 10c. New for the year: Elachista canapennella, V-pug, Shoulder Stripe, Engrailed and my earliest ever (by 35 days) Peach Blossom. The previous earliest was 8/5/24, with my latest ever record also in 2024, on 5/11. #teammoth

A nice little wander before breakfast this morning. It's nice to have scenes like this within 5 minutes from home. Kingfisher and green woodpecker the were nice but the real highlight was just being out on such a gorgeous morning.

I had a great morning at Bridlington today. -1 at half 7 but great for common waders and gulls as the sun rose. This kingfisher must have been frozen out of its usual haunts as it fed at the bottom of south pier. It caught at least 3 fish and shrimp while I was there.

All of this cold weather had me thinking about 2 memorable early mornings in the summer. Sat on Kilnsea beach before dawn watching little terns diving no more than 10 yards away. Wow!

I had a productive day on the Humber today. All of the action was at Welwick but everything at a distance so no photos.

A photographic review of the year is now on the blog. The stand out highlight was the close encounter with the pallid harrier at Kilnsea.

The Pallid Harrier at Kilnsea in the last of the light on Saturday.
An absolute stunner.
I went to look at the Bransholme hoopoe tonight. To say it showed well was an understatement. Photo from the back of the camera.
