  1. First new moth in almost week - Rush Veneer (nomophila noctuella). Not uncommon, tourist, found any time of year. 5:08 AM Aug 30th from web
  2. Run Out? The Captain? With as much time left as there is - NO EXCUSE. V. Cross. 6:37 AM Aug 23rd from web
  3. Hacking at Ivy at bottom of rear 'garden' and disturbing various Yellow Underwings - not all noctua pronuba. Sorry guys. Ivy had to go. 9:25 AM Aug 22nd from web
  4. Hope this weather isn't the work of an unoptomistic aussie doing a rain dance somewhere. I though the rain was supposed to miss us out here? 6:17 AM Aug 21st from web
  5. Posted to catch up with some special moths, several new ones for me, http://wp.me/pvVXV-fl 6:15 AM Aug 21st from web
  6. 1/12. And we're off to the races. Nice start. Shame I shall be out of radio contact for most of the day's play. 3:34 AM Aug 20th from web
  7. Willow Beauties? No doubt I got it wrong. 2:29 AM Aug 20th from web
  8. Also usual swarm of Small Dusty Waves, muddled Pugs, LBAM or similar?, and a veneer (crambus perlella?) Where did the Willow Beautys go? 2:28 AM Aug 20th from web

  10. Tonight's washing up interupted by an Old Lady (mormo maura) and ensuing struggle to ID a spectacular moth but battered specimen. A new one. 1:49 PM Aug 19th from web
  11. Prettiest among last night's 'catch' a lovely Scalloped Oak. My first but easy enough to ID 2:55 AM Aug 18th from web
  12. Done it - catch up post completed. [Cheated: ignored the unidentifiable and weeded out most of the repeat visitors.] 12:53 AM Aug 17th from web
  13. @iggyquiggy also 1 hard core Red Admiral currently nursing hangover under plum leaves at foot of tree (but at least no longer singing) 3:29 PM Aug 16th from web in reply to iggyquiggy
  14. @iggyquiggy if still in doubt about intoxicating plum products you could do worse than consult my p***** hoverfly population 3:27 PM Aug 16th from web in reply to iggyquiggy
  15. Have caught up on moths from past week and will post tomorrow - thanks particularly to Ben (Essex Moths) Sale. 3:25 PM Aug 16th from web
  16. Am no longer even faintly optomistic re olives. Little chance of enough sun now to ripen. Pinot Blanc may stand a chance 3:22 PM Aug 16th from web
  17. Done with PH kit and pond liner - have prepared a spot for the cranberries. Picked up some kiwis too. Will have to nurse thru to spring 3:21 PM Aug 16th from web

  19. PS watched Beyond Borders on DVD (tag: Where Hope Survives) last night. Not sure if it is funniest or most nauseating film I've ever seen. 1:39 AM Aug 16th from web
  20. Oh and another Twenty Plume moth - not be large but are quite unmistakeable. So why so many when none in previous years? Contrary creatures 12:25 AM Aug 16th from web
