Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 16/03/2026First Lapwing of the season for the BTO Nest Record Scheme. 1111
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 01/11/2025One of the highlights of the year was having the good people from @btoengland.bsky.social run this nest recording taster day at Flatford back in May. The Reed Bunting nest found was a bonus. 070
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 31/08/2025Blackberries softening nicely for #moths now. Found this BROAD-BORDERED YELLOW UNDERWING this evening. 020
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 23/08/2025Incredible hour checking ivy last night. Recorded 30 species, including 5 I've not encountered on ivy before. That's 93 species since 2013. Ivy is flipin' amazing! #moths 030
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 23/08/2025Great to meet you Mel, had a great time. This Apodia martinii was the highlight. 110
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 26/07/2025@mothiduk.bsky.social Sean, any thoughts on this please, from Loch Lomond. Pseudococcyx turionella doesn't feel right, but it's the closest I can get. 100
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 29/06/2025Top quality #moths last night. Peach Blossom the looker, but outdone on the rarity-scale by Bright Wave (netted at dusk by Sam Chamberlin), Shaded Fan-foot and Red-necked Footman. 010
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 21/06/2025Last week, the Forester was rediscovered in #Essex. First time since 1974. Keep an eye in flower-rich grassland with Sorrel/Sheep's Sorrel (caterpillar foodplant). Mesmerising emerald green in flight and they do love to perch up! #moths 181
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 14/06/2025SCARLET TIGER Still rare in #Suffolk. Somehow this one snuck in to the shed next to where the trap was running last night. #Moths 040
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 25/05/2025Nest-recording taster day with Lee & Cheryl @btoengland.bsky.social y'day. Finding a Reed Bunting nest brought elation & amazement all-round. Attendees inspired to take new skills forward. Why are there not more naturalists/ecologists doing this? 010
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Oh yes. Non-standard Twin-spotted Quaker from yesterday. 020
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Slow out the blocks, but here's the first two Lapwing of the season for the @btobirds.bsky.social #NestRecordScheme 030
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 08/03/2025Five common spring #moths. Left to right, Small Quaker, Common Quaker, Hebrew Character, Clouded Drab and Chestnut. 340
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Disgraced myself by actively twitching all of 2 miles to see one of 5 Hawfinch in Holbrook churchyard. Found by Emily Hasler and Claire Farnfield. #SuffolkBirding 1200
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Thought I'd give Cattawade North Marsh a check for Water Pipit....and found one! #EssexBirding 1160
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Soon be Spring. Song Thrush clearing the pipes this morning. #BirdSong 030
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 03/11/2024Lovely count at Brackenbury, Dawn til 10am with brents and ducks trickling through. Brent 197s 23n Wigeon 180/6 Shelduck 36/4 Shoveler 8 Pintail 10 Gadwall 17 Teal 97 Common Scoter 22/3 Velvet Scoter 1 Red-breasted Merganser 1n Starling 49 in off Peregrine nailed a passerine. #seawatching 010
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 27/10/2024STUTTON on 27/10/2024, 07:28 - 09:05. View my #BirdTrack list: app.bto.org/birdtrack/pu... Stayed local this morning for some #vismig. Not too much to shout about but fascinating to see Wood Pigeons going through on such a broad front. 040
Mark Nowers @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social · 05/10/2024The benefits of an evening seawatch off Old Felixstowe is the incredible light. This is the principality of Sealand 11km offshore. The negatives are the lack of birds. 3 Brents and 11 Wigeon in an hour. #ukbirding 060
