The moth migration has cooled off steeply but still been getting about 200-250 moths a night of approx 80-90 species. A few new for gardens and year ticks. Now on 542 all time and 383 for the year.
Sadly one of our rabbits died this weekend of unknown causes.
A few picture highlights from the last few days below.
Gold spot- always nice to see
Marbled Bell
Barred Red
Pine Knot-horn
L-album Wainscot- the first ones in the most recent migrant influx
Gem- the second one in recent weeks
Teal on Mill Lane Marsh- the only ones in the local area at the moment. An early sign that autumn is coming soon.
Still working on the house fascias so got the scaffolding up ready for that
The clover meadow in the front garden is doing well and the longer sward in the back garden continues to attract meadow invertebrates. In terms of pollinators the meadows are attracting much more than anything we've planted.
