A very motmoty afternoon today at @casabentbill.bsky.social #CostaRica The Rufous Motmot was enjoying fresh fruits in the garden and a pair of Keel-billed Motmots were whooping it up. #birds #nature

Catching up with some Norfolk highlights from last week including the (non - ruled out on sonogram) promising-looking 'Eastern' Yellow Wagtail, splendid weevil off Sea Beet Lixus scabricollis and a rust on Sea Campion at Cley with PSL maestros @graemelyons.bsky.social and @andymus.bsky.social

First winter Yellow Wagtail off the East Bank at Cley looked good for Eastern but gave variably raspy called, maybe zippiest when chased by a Mipit and seemingly the sonogram VAR says no

The fine little weevil Lixus scabricollis that Graeme and Andy were confident we would find on the Sea beat along the beach. They had also tamed it, it seems

Despite the heavy rain, yesterday's Peterborough moth trap contained a nice mix of migrant and autumn species, including our first ever Ni Moth (been waiting for that one!), our second Vestal, the first Brindled Green of the season and a Large Wainscot living up to its name. #teammoth #mothsmatter

A Ni Moth patterned in shades of greyish and tawny brown, with a whitish mark on the wing and two tufts of scales on the thorax

The Vestal moth - triangular in shape with pale yellowish-ochre wings, each marked with a diagonal brown line - very pristine

A Brindled Green moth patterned in shades of green, grey and cream to mimic a lichen
