It's been a very decent (for here) start to the year.

Though I've just noticed it's from 1980 😁

Quite a surprise! I see there's a previous record from Crich Chase 🤔

Nice Red Chestnut mate 🙂

Chalk grassland you say 🤔🙏🙏

Wow, that's a smart one!

No pressure then 😄

Lovely! It shouldn't be long before Streamer and Water Carpet show here (I'm not sure about literana).

I think I'll need it 🙄

Oh really 🤔

A nice looking moth and one I'd completely forgotten existed until reading up yesterday. Little to no chance here I think.

I take it you're not convinced?

We're nearly through the dark days now Steve. Moth is incoming soon 👍

😏

Well I've called it out plenty over the last few weeks. Now where's that Dark Chestnut? Oh, and mini Merv!

21/9 last night here in VC57. One nfy in Grey Shoulder-knot, which is the first for some years. #TeamMoth

Yay, well done 👍

It's absolutely fascinating isn't it! Even a small garden can pull in some real surprises so keep plugging away 👍

Nice catch 🫡

Absolutely 😆

Ooh tasty! On my most wanted list here 🙏

I'm sure you'll tell us 😁

Certainly not mine 🙄

I'll be on it first thing tomorrow Steve 😁

I'm not saying there isn't some Aspen closer, just that I'm not aware.

Not a clue Steve. I know there's some at Carsington, but that's 5-6 miles.

Let's hope so 🤞

Decent result mate. 🙂

It's there to be bagged then! Got to think positive in this game 😏
