The past couple of nights have been very quiet indoors. I spent a while last night watching a Common Emerald bobbing back and forth across the outside of the bathroom window; that was the nearest I came to seeing a macro species inside. The only two moths to actually come into the house were a Bird...

It wasn’t obvious but the weather of earlier in the week was building to a crescendo which broke over head about an hour before what would have been sunset – last night, had the sky not already been black. Yet another electric storm and again pretty much overhead. With wind as well I had no expe...

I have had a number of careers now, none of them illegal anywhere in the world as far as I’m aware – though management consulting is not a universally admired occupation.  For a while after leaving The Firm I ran a local charity shop; I had a bit of money behind me and an appetite for doing so...

What a strange month July was. A  mixture of the scarce and notable on the one hand, some nights when I could barely keep up, and a long barren patch at the end. Since about the twentieth of the month the number of species on any day has failed to reach double figures, and there have been nights wh...

The lack of posting shouldn’t be taken to reflect a diminution in my attentiveness. But there are only so many photographs of hoverflies I can bring myself to take. Conditions are distinctly mild but not actually cold, and rather damp. Not astonishing, then, that I found what I found lurking in a...

Between them the past two days have produced a crop of moths almost worth mentioning and one really tremendous find. The weather has been calmer and warmer, in fact quite humid and the forecast out until the end of the month is good so I might yet extend my list of finds for the year and overall â€...

Actually, a couple of evenings; the pickings are too lean to justify frenetic blogging each morning. But last night, though the numbers were not high I had a disproportionate number of new species. They were all rather small though mostly classified as macro moths and it has taken me a while to get ...

Although the weather here has been reasonable – not actually warm let alone hot but fairly bright and with light winds, the moth visitation level has dropped right away. In terms of number of individuals and variety of species things are way down on the halcyon days of June and July. That said th...

During the middle of the week when the weather was warmer and calmer traffic levels were up slightly but not by as much as I had hoped.  I have lots of drunken hoverflies and the occasional sozzled Red Admiral making merry beneath the Victoria Plum trees and the broken over-ripe plums I can’t cle...

I’m in a far, far sunnier mood this morning. Why? The weather is better, we’re in with a shout in the test match and, after yesterday’s tribulations over three small moths, I do have a couple of triumphs to report. The first is that the moth which I found on my sleeve the night I came in fro...
