Not the best photos, but 4 moths of 4 species last night was more than I expected.
Another day of Pink-footed Geese at Carsington with 6 skeins (c370 birds) flying east 0935-1005hrs. Little else of note: Drake Shoveler, 50 Lapwing, 4 Sparrowhawk, 6 Red Kite, 90 Fieldfare, 10 Stock Dove, c10 Meadow Pipit. @Derbyshirebirds
It was nice to finally see the sun at Carsington this morning. Pink-footed Geese were on the move east, with 5 skeins totalling 460 birds. @Derbyshirebirds
7 months of 4 species last night was better than expected. Winter Moth (2) was nfy. Also 3 Red-green Carpet, Spruce Carpet and another Brick.
A nice late autumn trap here, with 17/10. Two more Brick, December Moth, Blair's Shoulder-knot, Mottled Umber, Scarce Umber, Silver Y, 7 Red-green Carpet, Snout, Common Marbled Carpet, E postvittana.
A decent night with 25/11. Scarce Umber nfy, 2 Mottled Umber, 2 Feathered Thorn, 2 December Moth, 3 Angle Shades, Silver Y, Brick, etc.
It was a quieter night with just 13/6. Red-green Carpet 6, Juniper Carpet 2, Spruce Carpet 2, Epirrita agg, Acleris sparsana and Exapate congelatella.
A murky vismig session from Gang Mine: 890 Woodpigeon, 467 Starling, 188 Redwing, 6 Fieldfare, 6 Mistle, 22 Chaffinch, 12 Goldfinch and a Goosander.
26 moths of 11 species last night, with the obvious highlight the Delicate but Brick also nfg. Black Rustic, Feathered Thorn 3, Mottled Umber 2, November agg 3, Red-green C 5, Juniper C 4, Spruce C, Snout, E postvittana 4.
I was already feeling pretty chuffed, and then the unthinkable happened here in the migrant desert that is Cromford. Only a Delicate! It's probably the 4th or 5th record for VC57.
A quick check of the rooftop actinic revealed a single noctuid. On inspection, it's a Brick! 😃🥳 A longtime bogey moth for me, so nfg and also brings up 400 for the year. Better pics tomorrow, hopefully.
Another good trap for the season, with 29/11. And lo it came to pass that Merv did visit (x2)!🥳
I held on to this one as a potential Grey Pine Carpet, but I'm still not sure. It's a bit worn but appears more of a pink-brown colour with a very long abdomen and smaller than adjacent Spruce Carpet. Any thoughts guys?
37 moths is a good number here in late October, but nothing new (potential Grey Pine to assess). Red-green 13, Black Rustic, Angle Shades, F Thorn 2, Mottled Umber 2, Spruce 5, Juniper 2, Epirrita 4.
25 of 8 last night in Cromford. The main surprise was a late Orange Sallow, which didn't hang about! Also of note 10 Red-green Carpet.
A couple for your appraisal, please @FlyinginFordham A LBbYU on 27/10 has to be worth another look? Also, what I think is a late S. ambigualis?
It turned into a reasonable night, here in Cromford, with 24/12. Feathered Thorn 6, Mottled Umber 2, December Moth, Silver Y, Juniper Carpet 4, Acleris sparsana, and what is probably a late Scoparia ambigualis?
A lovely, virtually all green version of Red-green Carpet from last night.
