So sad to see this wonderful tree being taken down today due to safety concerns but at least Chris consoled me with a couple of his Little Owls @HighAshFarm

Early in the season and already some confusing Acleris specimens to last night's trap. Thinking top left Acleris kochiella, top right A.schalleriana and bottom two a.ferrugana/notana. Would welcome second opinion UK Moth Identification

Apart from our first in-flight butterfly of the year (a Peacock) plenty of other spring signs around Rockland and Claxton today BC Norfolk

A beauty pageant from last night's trap - our first ever Small Brindled Beauty, a Pale Brindled for comparison and one of my favourites and our first of the year - Oak Beauty BC Norfolk Norfolk Moths (Jim Wheeler CMR)

.Richard Bacon I've responded to Defra UK sandeel consultation to support a ban on industrial trawling for this important fish in English waters. Please lend your support and help save our globally threatened seabirds who rely on sandeels to survive. #SaveOurSeabirds

Been trying to put a name to these four agonopterix trapped in the last few days here in South Norfolk. Coming round to the conclusion they are all probably a.heracliana but would welcome a sanity check UK Moth Identification

Nice to get some flutter-by action yesterday - kicked off this year's local transect with a Peacock, the first Holly Blue of the year in the garden and then a Comma and several Brimstone, Peacock & Small Tortoiseshell sightings between Rockland and Claxton BC Norfolk

With growing concerns about alcohol abuse and anti-social behaviour there appears to be a worrying increase in the number of butteflies seen drinking in public BC Norfolk

Musotima nitidalis (aka Golden-brown Fern Moth or Fern China-mark) an unexpected addition to the garden list from last night's trap in Stoke Holy Cross. An adventive first seen in Norfolk in 2020 & apparently only one other South Norfolk record to date BC Norfolk Norfolk Moths (Jim Wheeler CMR)

Suella Braverman keeps repeating that the Rwanda scheme etc is the “will of the British people” If, like me, you’re British, & this is not your “will” let her know by retweeting this please. We deserve to be heard #RwandaNotInMyName Suella Braverman MP

Hi Carl Buttle - hope they let you back into the county today! As discussed take a look at Lebara deals - see moneysavingexpert.com/cheap-mobile-f…

Sorry won't be tuned in to BBC Springwatch live tonight - we've got our own little wildlife drama to watch through the patio window🤗

Would welcome a view on this one from last night's trap. V.worn and nearest I can get is Cochylidia implicitana or potentially Falseuncaria ruficiliana but can't convince myself UK Moth Identification

Got the plant and now, after a long wait, we've got the moth! Toadflax Brocade to the garden trap last night BC Norfolk Norfolk Moths (Jim Wheeler CMR)

Help on these two please- the nemapogon doesn't look quite right for Cork Moth, was thinking n.ruricolella but not convinced. Best suggestion I've had on the other is Ptycholoma lecheana (under scope there are some metallic golden scales and the hindwing is dark brown) UK Moth Identification

Hopefully enough here to put a first dot on the map for inland Norfolk for Langmaid's Yellow Underwing (to light on Sunday in Stoke Holy Cross) Norfolk Moths (Jim Wheeler CMR) UK Moth Identification Migrant Lepidoptera

Can someone can tell me what has made this? Found several of these on Alders at Hellington Low Common Reserve last week in a wetland area adjacent to a beck. The leaf appears to have been cut across to the centre and rolled - I assume it's a pupae of something? @NorfolkNats

Return of the native? To be confirmed but looks like Nothris verbascella (Norfolk Snout) a moth last recorded at a single Norfolk site until 1971 then declared extinct in Britain but in our S.Norfolk garden trap this morning & given the amount of Hoary Mullein locally is it back?

Can you top finding an 'extinct' moth in the trap?? ... well I guess finding an adult near it's food plant and apparent signs of munching might just do it - I think the Norfolk Snout is back (assuming it ever if went away?)
