A drawing I did of a Glossy Ibis using one of my photos of the Stiffkey Norfolk bird. Annoyed that the beak is too long, but I had fun with the reflections. #birdart #birds

East Coast of England based birder and moth-er. Overdeveloped curiousity a blessing and a curse. Interested in places and why we choose one place over another. Poor sense of direction keeps finding me either lost or sticking to regular haunts.

It reminded me of when I was a teenager in the late 70s and used an intertidal seaweed festooned WW2 pill box as a bird hide. These slaters would crawl all over my clunky Russian mirror lens. The lens & the pill box are long gone but the slaters persist.

This is my latest ever record and could have been disturbed from hibernation. I donβt know for sure why my garden is so good for this moth.

Thanks for all of the help with moth Id over on the other platform. I am right in assuming Iβll post here for your future help.
Merveille du Jour, a minty choc chip favourite moth. Seems to be having a good year but I donβt get many in my Harwich garden.
