One new for the year.
Early Thorn 1
White Ermine 1
Clouded Drab 1
Hebrew Character 5
8 moths of 4 species
Still cold down to 4 degrees.
This morning was nice and sunny with a rise in temperature too. A walk with Bunty down to the pond field had a couple of Sedge Warblers and Whitethroats in song, my first Speckled Wood of the year along with 4+ Orange Tips and a few flowers out including Goldilocks, Herb Robert, Pheasants Eye Narcissus and Cow Parsley.
This evening a male Wheatear was on the coastal path. As its National Moth Night lets hope for something new...
Speckled Wood.
Pheasants Eye Narcissus. A naturalised species and the last of the daffodils to come into flower.
Carrion Crows have been at it again. From the left - Grey Partridge, Pheasant x2 and Kittiwake. Part of a haul of over a dozen eggs cached in the wood...

I like that narcissus Stew. Are they quite common around where you are?
Wonderful Ermine, Stewart. I will be ordering my trap this week I think.
Not Common Nigel but well scattered. Try Seaton Point, Howick Bathing House, Denwick Quarry or Howick Village Wood!
Good Luck Emma, great timing as the weather is going to warm up...
