Is anyone else getting huge swarms of whiteflies for the past few days? Loads here on the Lincs coast!

This Box Tree moth was in the garden today, the first time I've seen one. Google tells me it's an invasive species and a bit of a pest!

The Clouded Yellow aberration I found on Thursday has now been confirmed as ab.melanitica by an expert. Thanks to Toby Ludlow. More photos on Lincolnshire butterfly Conservation page.

Sandilands, Lincolnshire has been transformed from a golf course into a welcoming place for nature and people. It is now a mosaic of wetlands and habitats to support migrating and breeding birds... www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/nottin...

Cliffe Pools, Kent Mon 21/9. Still a fair number of Clouded Yellow about, but mainly sailing past. Just this one male hung around for a while, going from flower to flower. Pleased with this ('burst' function) shot, but not telling you how many hundred duds needed discarding.

Clouded Yellows have been appearing in good numbers across Cornwall this year, riding on warm winds from southern Europe. Look out for their glowing orange-yellow wings, edged with a bold black border. @bc-cornwall.bsky.social @marcusrhodes.bsky.social
