Love Guernsey and La Societe Guernesiaise - trying to protect its environment, keen birdwatcher, trainee bird ringer, and all things to do with natural history.
- 108/50ish in SE Hants last night after throwing everything at it! 4 NFY Ingrailed Clay, Light Brocade, N. cynosbatella and N. koenigi (AND). 1 NFG the delightfully named Capua vulgana. 5 Coleophera and a large dark Parornix as yet undetermined #teammoth
- I do like a Buff Tip and have yet to see one this year.
- Good morning from Exmoor 💛 “Beautiful hike this morning, starting at Ashcombe carpark Simonsbath, just up from the Exmoor Forest Inn, heading up through Birchcleave Woods the highest Beech woodland in England and in my opinion some of the finest ancient Beech trees on Exmoor.” By Gary Clark.
- The Beech trees on Exmoor are beautiful.🙂
- 119 of 49 species last night, including 3 new species for my garden: Flame Carpet, Dark-barred Twin Carpet and Seraphim, La Moye, Vale, #Guernsey. #teammoth #mothsmatter

- I have visited dorset regularly for many years, but last week was my first visit to Thorncombe Woods - lovely. i do enjoy your posts.🙂
- Wonderful #Herm - jewel in the Channel Islands' crown. 33 species of bird recorded today, not including a possible Kentish Plover. 🤔 Sadly, I didn't take my proper camera - may go back tomorrow.
- A very satisfying 23 NFY last night, 92 of 45 species and White Plume moth was NFG. Also Spiny Hook-tip, Pale Tussock, Angled ShadesChange in wind direction makes a big difference. VC 113 #Guernsey #teammoth #mothsmatter

View full threadI think it has colonised in the Bristol area now. Yes the Guernsey moth-ers were very welcoming and it was one of the best places I have ever trapped in!
- You'll have to pay us another visit. Andy Marquis now has a serious generator (I think following your visit) which we put to very good use on Monday night for the annual Bioblitz.
- Very nice, I’m ever hopeful of a Spiny Hook-tip crossing the water but nothing yet. When you get the right wind you get some incredible mothing on the island.
- I think there have been a couple of Spiny Hook-tip records in the south of England - Dorset? It may have grabbed a lift on the ferry! We have some very good mothers who encourage enthusiastic improvers, like myself.🙂
- A smart White Ermine, Tawny Shears and Lychnis helped move the moth trap total up to 41 of 13 species. Things are improving slowly. VC 113 #Guernsey #teammoth #mothsmatter
- Heathland Bird Survey for @btobirds.bsky.social at Le Gouffre, #Guernsey this morning. Beautiful but quiet - no survey birds except fo a Linnet.🇬🇬
