East Coast of England based birder and moth-er. Overdeveloped curiousity a blessing and a curse. Interested in places and why we choose one place over another. Poor sense of direction keeps finding me either lost or sticking to regular haunts.

A drawing I did of a Glossy Ibis using one of my photos of the Stiffkey Norfolk bird. Annoyed that the beak is too long, but I had fun with the reflections. #birdart #birds

This Glossy Ibis I saw at Stiffkey Norfolk this morning could have been a cardboard cut out.

#avocets make great subjects to hone #sketching skills. Just a black pen and a pencil needed. This bird was in Manningtree #essex. Each sketch is based on one of my photos.

Not for me as a vegetarian but part of me is glad there is still a cafe in Clacton advertising chopped liver. That cheesecake looks over the top.

Rescued this Sea Slater on a walk today. It reminded me of when I was a teenager in the late 70s and used an intertidal seaweed festooned WW2 pill box as a bird hide. These slaters would crawl all over my clunky Russian mirror lens. The lens & the pill box are long gone but the slaters persist.

Im addicted to the Netflix high budget Korean cookery game show β€œCulinary Class Wars”. Refreshingly free of Gregg Wallace. Can you imagine Gregg saying
β€œThis seaweed is like a nurturing mother embracing her trouble making child”

My garden in Coastal Harwich in Essex is a Bloxworth Snout hot spot. I’ve probably got more records (21 records in 4 years) than anyone else in the County. This is my latest ever record and could have been disturbed from hibernation. I don’t know for sure why my garden is so good for this moth.

@markgolley.bsky.social - rightly gives much praise to video editors. I love Max Rushden.

@cambsmoths.bsky.social
Thanks for all of the help with moth Id over on the other platform. I am right in assuming I’ll post here for your future help.

Merveille du Jour, a minty choc chip favourite moth. Seems to be having a good year but I don’t get many in my Harwich garden.

A big boat approaching Felixstowe this afternoon. 100 turnstones on Stone Pier in and amongst the gulls.

It’s not grey matter. It’s a worse for wear white line in Leicester. The red image is processed from the original image and looks like neurons.
