Second generation Heath Fritillary from East Blean woods today - first time i've ever seen this species in September.
A couple of decent moths in the last few days - Dartford VC16. Vestal and Centre-barred Sallow.
Very pleased to get 2 new macro moths for the garden on consecutive nights - Yellow Belle and Four-Spotted Footman.
Today's survey was to look for Monochroa niphognatha (Bistort Borer moth) which is only known in the UK from 1 small area in the Stour valley. We surveyed a new area of the site and were pleasantly surprised to find 7 very tiny caterpillars - result!
Finally, after several failed visits, I managed to get views of a Brown Hairstreak at Fackenden downs this afternoon. woop Woop!!
A few more of the many highlights from Devon this weekend: Anomalous, Crescent Dart, Cosmopolitan and Small Marbled. With @markhows
2 very special moths seen on the rugged cliffs of North Devon on Friday night - Scarce Black-neck and Black-banded. With @markhows
Some quality trapping in the south-west over the last 2 nights. Here's some scenery and a little taster - more to come!
Straw Belle survey today was successful with over 20 seen. Also Lace Border, Adonis Blue and Silver-spotted Skipper.
A great day in the New Forest yesterday with lots of dragonfly highlights including Golden-ringed Dragonfly, Small-red and Southern damselflies, Keeled Skimmer, and much, much more.
Live from the field in Dorset with @markhows and @beardybirder and at least 3 Rosy Underwings to wine ropes and sugar - awesome!
Good views of a Queen of Spain Fritillary at Ranscombe this morning - also Clouded Yellow and Painted Lady.
Good to see our farmers confirming the presence of adder in 2 new locations in our east kent valleys project. Sightings at upper end of two valleys systems where never previously recorded – contiguous wildflower grassland networks, created by farmers, driving species recovery
Some more moth highlights from Folkestone last night. Mullein Wave, Portland Ribbon Wave, Sub-angled Wave and Cryptic Fern.
A pretty awesome mothing session at Folkestone produced many highlights including Restharrow, Wormwood, Dotted Clay and Small Mottled Willow.
Another busy few days and one site visited was Lydden downs, which didn't disappoint with Autumn Ladies' Tresses, Chalkhill Blue, Adonis Blue and Silver-spotted Skipper.
The Black Stork in Suffolk was giving crazy good views this afternoon. Absolutely stunning!
This is an historic photo. Congratulations to William Brame (who took the photo) for realising this was a different white butterfly. Now confirmed by @chrisvanswaay as a Southern Small White - the first seen in England. As it is a female let's hope it has been laying eggs.
Rosy Marsh Moth is a very rare species, only found in a handful of sites in the UK. Last night we tried a site deep in Wales and were pleasantly surprised to trap over 30 individuals of this pinky-hued noctuid, an under-stated beauty of a moth.
A visit to Gigrin farm in Powys produced the awesome spectacle of 300 Red Kites coming in to a feeding station. Stunning!
