I noticed these on my year-old pile of conifer chippings today - Morchella elata?

Hedgehog house

Took delivery of 2 rescue hedgehogs this evening. Born too late to hibernate but now a chunky pair that I hope will enjoy the habitat here. I bet they never use the house after tonight!

Marsh Capet and Emperor Moth mugs

As the moth season ramped up a gear this week, my mugs from @moffstuff.bsky.social arrived. The Marsh Carpet one was an obvious choice for me, but I couldn't resist the Emperor one so had to get both

I'm having the electricity extended further in a few weeks, hopefully with outside timer sockets with that very thought in mind 😅.

I get the feeling that I need to add a 3rd trap as my garden is a bit bigger than yours and I ONLY have one mv and one actinic....but that would add to the trap-opening time required 😫 but it also might catch the rare ones I miss...

Strumpshaw Fen

After yesterday's flooding and trail closures at RSPB Strumpshaw Fen, the water levels have dropped and both Fen Hide and Tower Hide have re-opened. Still a bit muddy.

Common Quaker

Common Quaker to MV tonight - that mild spell must have confused it, though I had one 8 December last year too

I wasn't expecting a fresh Pebble Hook-tip last night but this has been a strange year for late records

Lovely autumnal colour to the beech hedge at the bottom of the garden, with brambles and honeysuckle coming over from the land beyond
