After a quiet-ish few nights for migrant moths there was a big improvement last night in numbers at the Obs gdn moth-traps + a Slender Burnished Brass to the ORI lure donated to us by @alanlewiswildlife.bsky.social. Our first ever October Little Grass-moth P cerussella was an out of season oddball

A new appreciation of life and the natural world - that's everything and more that I hoped my book would give to readers. Makes me very happy 😊

A mysterious case of the appearing rosemary beetle in today's @theguardian.com country diary by Susie White. We've had them here for years and I've never noticed any real damage. I'm interested to know if others have found them problematic. #countrydiary #naturewriting
