@naturescotland.bsky.social @theodec97.bsky.social @grulinehomefarm.bsky.social @petewalkden.bsky.social @hamzayassin.bsky.social Back to Mull in a week's time. Apart from the usual attractions, this still gives me pleasure from a few years ago. Ace fisher, eventually!!

It's great to see you back. Presumably the seals have been awaiting your arrival and voted that guy to welcome you!! I assume the Puffins, Guillemots and Razorbills will be getting together soon to organise a party??? Have a good year. Cheers Terry and Chris.

@hamzayassin.bsky.social Brilliant programme tonight, thanks. We had, for 20+ years Red Squirrel in our garden, great memories watching your set. Also saw Pine Martin on our journey to the ferry on Mull, each time I drive past the location will it to appear!! #pinemartin #RedSquirrel

Thanks for the information, I was misled by my old moth field guide, which seemed to indicate it was to be seen in August. More reading got me there in the end. Cheers Terry.

The Hawkmoth, which came into my trap a couple of days ago, is still here. Not sure if I should be charging rent!! Fell out today, managed to pick it up, and put it back safely. @savebutterflies.bsky.social @rlewington2.bsky.social @steelyseabirder.bsky.social @petewalkden.bsky.social

Hello Tom, Sorry for not thanking you earlier for your advice. I think I will have to buy an mv bulb. A few years ago, the owner of the land around me cut down the woodland, although there is regeneration moth numbers have reduced. Positive thinking is needed. Cheers, Terry.

I'm struggling to charm Moths into my trap at the moment this year. Any advice on what ordinary light to use in my trap?

Terry @yewt.bsky.social · 27/04/2025
Fairly confident!! this is a Shoulder Stripe in my trap a couple of days ago. Struggling to get moths in, I don't want to use a specialist bulb, can you recommend any ordinary bulb. @mothiduk.bsky.social @damianmoney.bsky.social
