Pink-barred Sallow was NFY last night & was joined by another Vestal (honestly, this is a wild autumn for them!) + Brown-spot Pinion & Barred Sallow all in the mix too. Decent return on a breezy, moonlit night. @linnetincley.bsky.social #cleymothobs #norfolkmoths #teammoth

On our way down to south Devon we choose the scenic route across Salisbury Plain. As well as the Corn Buntings there were the Great Bustards too. Forever grateful to have seen the "Leiston Three" but these are still excellent value, even at long range. Fun birds. @linnetincley.bsky.social

A few days away to visit family & a treat to see a Bunting double-bill and in numbers too. Around the red fields of Labrador Bay, we found a loose feeding flock of over 30 Cirls (superb!) and, as we headed to Devon, on Salisbury Plain, we saw a similar number of Corns. @linnetincley.bsky.social

The stubble fields & hedgerows at the RSPB reserve at Labrador Bay offered us a ratio of 3:1 for Cirl Buntings & Vestals ~ over 30 of the former, often showing really well, and a minimum 11 of the latter. Great seeing these autumn flocks of Cirls 👌 @linnetincley.bsky.social #devonbirds #devonmoths

Are there any Bristletail experts out there to advise on whether this is Trigoniophthalmus alternatus (Cave Bristletail). Seen in south Devon (& I've read now that it's a hot-spot nationally for the species). Looks good to us but expert help would be welcomed. @linnetincley.bsky.social #bristletail

... and talking of moths on an amazing run here, up popped another Vestal this weekend. We've had so many TG04 records this summer/autumn. And every one has been different. This one a little faded but the lemon & raspberry remains... @linnetincley.bsky.social #cleymothobs #norfolkmoths #teammoth

I've always loved a double (L-) album! The amazing run for this brilliant Wainscot in 2026 continues a pace ~ amazing that we only had our 1st L-album Wainscot last year & this autumn has produced at least eight in recent weeks. @linnetincley.bsky.social #cleymothobs #norfolkmoths #teammoth

Three more of the Dusky-lemon Sallow from the weekend. This smart & understated moth reminds me of the upperpart colour scheme of a particularly well-marked, darker looking (dark-breasted) Barn Owl: such a neat & distinctive look 👌 @linnetincley.bsky.social #cleymothobs #norfolkmoths #teammoth

Breezy & clear again overnight, but a gorgeously granite-like Large Ranunculus was a star NFY moth. Not far behind was the 2nd Autumnal Rustic of the year ~ another real favourite moth of mine, so elegant & subtle in appearance. @linnetincley.bsky.social #cleymothobs #norfolkmoths #teammoth

Enjoyed watching the four Glossy Ibis track west across the marsh from Salthouse this evening, again bang on cue around 7.15. They arced in towards the scrape, gave it an ever decreasing circle or two before finding their feet amongst the gulls. @linnetincley.bsky.social #cleybirds #norfolkbirding

Two NFYs for us this morning, one of which, Orange Sallow, was only our 2nd ever garden record (after the first in 2023). Also today, the first Lunar Underwing of 2026 ~ a much commoner species here but one that's always welcome. @linnetincley.bsky.social #cleymothobs #norfolkmoths #teammoth

It's that time... One of autumn's signature moths, the Black Rustic, brought its sombre & intense darkness to the MV this morning. Super fresh too in a striking purple-black, darkest of dark shrouds, with gold-leaf embellishments. @linnetincley.bsky.social #cleymothobs #norfolkmoths #teammoth

The very first moth in to the Actinic last night, before night-fall, was this Dark Sword-grass - there's always a buzz when we get one of these popular migrant species. Every moth's darts are different, this one's were rather modest. @linnetincley.bsky.social #cleymothobs #norfolkmoths #teammoth
