A couple of stills of one of todays Sab's. Nice to be able to just make out the yellow bill tip!

A Sab's kind of day at Strumble with 4 adults seen.
@PembsBirds – at Wales, United Kingdom
Holidaying near Stumble Head, so it would have been rude not go. Today I found an adult Sabine's Gull within 60s of getting started! Met regular Stumble Head seawatcher Luke @westwalesbirds who found another adult Sabs and 2 LT Skuas. We also had 2 Storm Petrels. Brilliant!

Luke also had a Balearic, which I missed. What a wonderful location with a nice seawatching hide.
P.S. @westwalesbirds, I can't message you unless you follow me, so this was the next best thing 😂.

SERIOUS rain here. After the wettest winter on record summer has been a washout & many will be worried about flooding issues… BUT upland beaver wetlands help mitigate against downstream flooding? Here’s how… @BeaverTrust @ScotRewilding @NFUStweets @scottishfarmer @ScotlandTBP
Heard a funny noise in the garden and after a bit of a search found this guy. I believe it's a rufous grasshopper. First ever grasshopper type thing in our garden!

Using the provisional key on the Northumberland Moths website, are these Yponomeuta evonymella, mallinellus/cagnangella, enonymella ? @MOTHIDUK

Hi @MOTHIDUK
Are these Hofmannophila pseudospretella, Cydia fagiglandana, Ypsolopha scabrella and I'm stuck with the last one.

Well, I'm back. Bluesky is OK but hard to track what's going on. I like the Twitter platform, even if I don't like the owners and much of the content!

Let's see if I can do without Twitter for a while. There's so much horrible stuff on here and the owner supports DT.
In the meantime I will be posting birds, moths and plants on here instead:

My only moth trapping session this year produced Blackneck - a new moth for me. I took the whole catch to show y6 pupils on their second last day at primary school - Elephant Hawk Moth and Peppered Moths were very popular, even with those who initially said "euwww".

Beaten by the better team, so fair enough. I'm glad we came back at Spain, but I still feel we didn't make best use of our resources. Good effort lads #engspa
