David Norgate @davidnorgate.bsky.social · 27/06/2025Another completely unexpected moth in the trap a couple of nights ago: V-moth! Red listed: Endangered. We are lucky, in Norfolk, to get a few records a year #norfolkmoths #teammoth 1530
Reposted by David NorgateJames Lowen Wildlife @jameslowenwild.bsky.social · 26/06/2025I have been keeping an eye out for Eudemis porphyrana (Apple Marble) ever since @akkwildlife caught #Norfolk's 1st in 2022. Bleary-eyed, brain-befuddled checking of traps at 04h30 before all-day surveys produced a candidate, which I fortunately potted. 4th for the county! #teammoth #mothing 1501

David Norgate @davidnorgate.bsky.social · 15/06/2025The Alchemist My 600th Norfolk macro moth Many, many thanks to Craig for the share and organisation #teammoth #norfolkmoths I say 600th, one of those is a still unidentified adventive, so I suppose it’s officially 599! I wonder what my official 600th will be?! 0390
Reposted by David NorgateDave Wheatley @wheatersdave.bsky.social · 09/06/2025I’m doing a tidy and need to free up space. I have spare pots, tubing for pooters if you want a longer collection tube, and I’m able to knock up about 10 pooters if anyone is interested. All at cost and postage as I need them gone. The pooters work and tested last night. DM is interested #teammoth 1104

David Norgate @davidnorgate.bsky.social · 22/05/2025Day flying (primarily Breckland) specialities - one of which has come to light in my garden. Speckled Yellow (I still end up calling this Speckled Wood, occasionally!), Clouded Buff, Small Yellow Underwing (a macro smaller than the micro, Mint Moth!) & Burnet Companion #norfolkmoths #teammoth 0480

David Norgate @davidnorgate.bsky.social · 11/04/2025An early Spectacle was my 100th moth (only adults) in Norfolk, this year. A stunning Water Carpet was my 65th garden moth (again, only adults) of the year. A bonus NFY Herald was also trapped. Have a good (but not tooo good) week, everyone! #norfolkmoths #teammoth Mullein from yday 4520

David Norgate @davidnorgate.bsky.social · 06/04/2025I was hoping to get pics of Spoonbills, the other day, at Cley. Unfortunately, I kept on arriving just too late for them feeding, so had to be content with a flyby … and what a flyby it was #norfolkbirding 1560
David Norgate @davidnorgate.bsky.social · 05/04/2025Imm male Black Redstart at Holme NOA, last week. A lovely subtle bird and great to hear it calling and singing (I’m desperately trying not to say, ‘Shame it wasn’t an adult’!) #norfolkbirding 1230

David Norgate @davidnorgate.bsky.social · 29/03/2025Emperor Moth to my long-suffering lure (that’s even been soaked on a couple of occasions) in the garden. I don’t try and net, anymore (I have enough posed shots over the years) but prefer to have fun try to get an ‘action shot’. Still trying! #norfolkmoths #teammoth VC28 1774

David Norgate @davidnorgate.bsky.social · 23/03/2025‘Accidentally’ did two consecutive night sessions in the Brecks! Fantastic to record the continued presence of Barred Tooth-striped in the area. Early Tooth-striped was a bonus but ‘moth-of-night’, for me, was Amphisbatis incongruella (Obscure Concealer - an accurate tautology!) #norfolkmoths 1441
