Well it's time to start a new thread for this year. I saw my 1st Red Admiral of the year yesterday & have had a couple of moths in the house & in the trap overnight.
The house moths come out of the firewood (I think), Ive had 3 around the computer this month, I just keep putting them back out Mompha subbistrigella
Photo taken of it in the plastic pot before I threw it out.
Then in the trap a couple of moths, Eudonia angustea, always around in the winter,
& this one which is several weeks early, not sure why, Orthosia incerta "Clouded Drab Moth"
Last years thread is here https://community.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/f/all-creatures/206393/butterflies-moths-2020 for those that want to have a bit of bedtime reading.
Best wishes

Always happy to share a photo or two of the bear. He is an ace butterfly and mothing companion

To cheer you up on this May Day. He was waiting for me to go and chase him around the garden

Kind regards, Ann
Fabulous update. My friend had the same dog & her husband couldn't hear the phone when it rang so "Huggy" used to howl at the top of his voice whenever it rang to alert him. Whenever I called you could hear him howling in the background. Such a beautiful breed.

Why is there always a blade of grass in the way........
Lot to learn
