A morning at Spithami watching the waves before the forests gave up some of their secrets as the sun set.

We made our way towards Saaremaa & memories of a frozen landscape 14 years ago came flooding back but were soon to be eclipsed by 300 bugling Cranes @birdinghaapsalu.bsky.social #BirdsSeenIn2025 blueeyedbirding.blogspot.com/2025/10/esto...

Well you have the food plant! Hop, obviously... Not the 'other one' ๐คฃ
Boring little brown moth that lives in my garden and nowhere else in the UK!
After Grapholita delineana started turning up in my Suffolk garden last July, it was confirmed as new to the UK. Another arrived at the weekend with no other British records that I know of. Perhaps I have the only breeding Grapholita delineana in Britain? suffolkmoths.co.uk/micros.php?b...

Squeezing in some moth time before I disappear again! blueeyedbirding.blogspot.com/2025/06/lowe...
@beachhutbirder.bsky.social took most of the pictures in this blog post
Back home from Landguard now so a couple of pics of the Speckled Footman from my home trap in Felixstowe @neilsmothman.bsky.social @migrantmothuk.bsky.social
I think it must have come in with imported Thrift... My garden is full of it!
Imagine my surprise when this one turned up in my east Suffolk garden a few years ago!
Some Little Terns from the Suffolk coast today
Wasp Spiderlings hatched today in my Lowestoft garden
A splendid Emperor in Dunwich Forest yesterday
Barnard 33, Horsehead and Flame Nebulae
Excellent work! Really satisfying to see the results. Thanks for the credit!
Time to head home after our adventure for @bwntours.bsky.social to Japan.
It ended with furry Sea Otters, a full on Pacific gullfest & of all the birds for me to find; a drake Canvasback.
I will be back. Sincere thanks to the marvellous @mr-shortwing.bsky.social for his most excellent company
Ooh! Like that!
I have this one by MoveShootMove... Really nice piece of kit. It has a three-way adjustment for swapping between phone lenses easier
Andromeda M31 from my Suffolk garden
M42, Orion Nebula and the Pleiades from last week. No clear skies since
Pleiades this evening just before the Moon made it tricky.

Chestnut-capped Warbler - one of many highlights #birds
Feels a bit windy but definitely mild...
Looks like my local beach in Suffolk
Well it's taken light 4000 years to get to the telescope... That's quite some distance!
And yes, I still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea
