One of the 396 elms planted in the Upper Thames to support the White-letter Hairstreak. This one, in Berkshire, is a Sapporo ‘autumn gold’ looking both autumnal and gold in the sun this afternoon! soon be big enough to host a colony of WLH @UpperThamesBC
Trapping at Holly Copse, West Berkshire, Last night. One of the rewilding sites we are surveying in the Upper Thames. 80 moths of 7 species. Most of that 80 were Feathered Thorn, Mottled Umber and Sprawler @UpperThamesBC
At the Branch Chairs meeting at Nottingham, BC awarded Nick Bowles with the Hidden Heroes award in recognition of his outstanding contribution to butterfly and moth conservation over the last 43 years. Well done Nick and very well deserved.
Trapping at Oakingham Estate last night, one of the rewilding sites we are surveying for moths. A few autumn specialists added to the species list, which now stands at 122. @UpperThamesBC
A Ruby Tiger larva enjoying a bit of sunshine this afternoon in Oxfordshire.
Visited a couple of BBOWT reserves today, always a pleasure. Dancers End and College Lake.
A Large White enjoying a bit of sun this afternoon at Kelmscott Manor, Oxfordshire. I always think this such an underrated butterfly. Also saw two Small Tortoiseshells there, couldn’t get a pic but great to see, my first for 2024. @UpperThamesBC
Found this Knot grass larva today that had come to a rather unfortunate end. Is it possible to id the parasite from this? @kitenet @UpperThamesBC
A date for the diary. Although it is called 'Members Day' you don't have to be a member, we welcome friends and supporters. It's always a great day with excellent speakers ! @BensonNature @chilternrangers
Four heathers: ling, bell, cross-leaved, Dorset. All flowering today at Arne. @Natures_Voice @BSBIbotany @NaturalEngland @DorsetWildlife
Mothing at the Oakingham estate, Oxfordshire, last night. One of rewilding sites we are surveying. 127 moths (76 of which were Large Yellow Underwing) of 21 species. @UpperThamesBC
Ivy is a much maligned plant. My garden Ivy was teeming today with bees, wasps, flies and of course a few butterflies! Come winter it will be the Thrushes and Redwings that grace its boughs. @UpperThamesBC
Walking the footpaths around the Mapledurham Estate today, Berkshire/Oxfordshire border. Comma was the most numerous butterfly (11) followed by Red Admiral (6). @UpperThamesBC
Good numbers of butterflies enjoying a bit of late afternoon sun today at Aston Upthorpe. Admittedly most were Meadow Brown and Small Heath but a few Common Blue, Brown Argus and a single Small Copper @UpperThamesBC
Spent the day at RSPB Dungeness. Delighted to get a good view of an Osprey and several Marsh Harrier. But find of the day was this Ethmia bipunctella larva
visited Rye Castle this morning. I’m fairly certain this fig leaf damage in the castles herb garden is Choreutis nemorana. Are there many records of this in Sussex? @BCSussex @SussexEmerald
A gorgeous Bloody-nosed beetle on Blewburton Hill, Oxfordshire, yesterday. Love the funky legs!
I took this picture in my garden (Berks/Oxon border) back in 2015. As far as I can recall, I haven't seen Small Tortoiseshell in the garden since and have seen very few while out and about in the UTB area. Are other other people having more luck ? @UpperThamesBC
Another UTB moth survey at the Oakingham Estate, Oxfordshire, last night. Another rather cool night and a very bright moon. Still, 63 moths of 26 species and the site list now at 110 species @UpperThamesBC
Mothing at Hinksey Heights last night. A bit cold and a bright moon didn't help with moth numbers but we did come across a False Ladybird, a new one for me. Apparently a fungus feeder. @judyweb32049878
