Is there a 'war on the countryside'? Yes - but it's the one being waged by the landowners who unleash 50 million pheasants each year... Step forward 'Lord' Christian Brighty to explain, in this devastating (and hilarious) video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFi8...

@stevoallain.bsky.social wondering if you have evidence of the harm pheasants do to herp populations?

#teammoth Another new one for my N.Wilts garden at the weekend. Clancy's Rustic, a recent coloniser.

#teammoth Obs says Spiny Hook-tip 100%. Came to light in my N.Wilts garden last night. Going on the Internet, cos none of my books have it in, I think that's likely correct! Welcome any comments, please #teammoth.

#teammoth Carcina quercana, a colourful little moth. It goes by the uninspiring common name of Long-horned Flat-body. When walking the long antennae wave about in front but as soon as it stops and rests it tucks them underneath and sits on them, the ends protruding out the back from under the wings.

Despite repeated promises to ban them, the UK govt has quietly granted yet another 'emergency' license to spray butterfly-killing pesticides across our fields this summer. We need these pesticides banned for good.... campaigns.butterfly-conservation.org/ban-pesticid...

#teammoth Disappointing trap last night in my N.Wilts garden. A couple of new micros but nothing spectacular. High spot was this Tiger Crane Fly. The look of the scowl on this nearby fledgling Robin seemed to sum up my disappointment!

Nick Goddard @nickgoddard.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

#teammoth Not such a large haul, compared to the other night, in my N.Wilts garden. But a few nice NFG. Campion, Lunar-spotted Pinion, Dark Umber, Dwarf Cream Wave. Seem to be getting a handful of new ones every trap! Which keeps it interesting.

Nick Goddard @nickgoddard.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

#teammoth Fair no. of species this morning, with 3 new for my N.Wilts garden. Pale Mottled Willow, May Highflyer and Orange Footman. Although the OF doesn’t seem quite right, albeit too early for Dingy Footman! Would welcome opinions, please.

Several Willow Beauty attracted to the trap the other night, in my N.Wilts gatden. And this one flew in to the kitchen literally just now!

What is going on #teammoth?! I thought it would be a good one last night in my N.Wilts garden - a warm day, reasonably mild night, a bit of cloud cover, no rain. This morning just 2 SS Darts, a Bumble Bee and a Cockchaffer in the trap! 2 more Darts and a Tachystola acroxantha outside. That's it!

As predicted #teammoth, best night of the year, so far, although the bar was very low! Streamer, Least Black Arches, Oak-tree Pug NFY, and Acleris Cristana (Obs ?) NFG. Camera broke so relying on phone for photos!

0130

Nick Goddard @nickgoddard.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

#teammoth Looks like things might be turning a corner in my N Wilts garden tonight! Lots of flying insects around the trap, including this, first to settle, Least Black Arches.

Nick Goddard @nickgoddard.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

#teammoth I'm finding that no. of species is noticeably down this year compared to last at this point. It's roughly halved! Anyone else noticing this?

Nick Goddard @nickgoddard.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

#teammoth Low numbers again last night from my N.Wilts Garden! But the first Pugs of the year, a couple of DS and a Brindled.

Nick Goddard @nickgoddard.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

#teammoth One NFY in my N.Wilts garden last night - an Early Thorn. The only place it felt comfortable enough to pose was under the cover of my hand!

#teammoth Just 5 species on Friday night with 3 being NFY. Clouded Drab, Chestnut and Small Quaker.

Nick Goddard @nickgoddard.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

At least there out there #teammoth ! However, disappointingly low numbers last night in my N.Wilts garden, probably because temps dropped due to sparce cloud cover. Just a Hebrew Character and Common Quaker saved the day! No pics - you know what they look like! 😄

Up and running #teammoth ! After a couple of optimistic trapping nights in Jan that drew blanks, last night the moths made a tentative appearance. Oak Beauty, Hebrew Character and a couple of Common Quakers.

A Robin is perched on a weathered wooden surface, its bright orange-red breast puffed up and beak wide open in full song. The blurred background creates a soft gradient of earthy tones, making the Robin stand out. With its legs firmly planted and feathers fluffed, it looks as if it’s passionately delivering an important message to the world.

Sadly, we have seen a big increase in avian flu cases in the UK - particularly in waterfowl Whilst the risk to the public remains assessed as very low, Government advice is not to touch any visibly sick or dead birds, and to keep pets away Read on for ways to help: 📷Ben Andrew

#teammoth Another couple of new ones in my N.Wilts garden from the other night. Brown-spot Pinion and a Pink-barred sallow. Also a nice Red-green Carpet. A night of colour and double barrelled names!

Nick Goddard @nickgoddard.bsky.social · 27/09/2025

#teammoth Very quiet last night, only 4 species, but a couple where new ones for me! Tawny Pinion, which I found whilst setting up the light trap!! And a Black Rustic, a very smart looking moth.

#teammoth #insect A very colourful bycatch from last night. A leaf hopper, which I think is Acericerus ribauti. Directly under a Sycamore, so makes sense.

#teammoth Loads of moths in and around last nights trap here in my N.Wilts garden. Some taking flight as I approached the trap at 6.30 am, unidentified others escaping while I tried to photo them!!! Getting increasingly frustrated!!!! Then found this beauty underneath the sheet. All is now well. 😁

What do you think, please @mothiduk.bsky.social #teammoth. I hope I've narrowed it down to Small Engrailed, Engrailed or Willow Beauty. Unfortunately I can't remember the actual size, it's all a bit hectic at 6.00 am!
