Birder and moth-er, Derbyshire.

You're never sure what to expect from a new species, but it was very docile to be fair (which I didn't expect).
I'd take option A, though possibly another PMW 🤔
I fired off 3 shots, none of which seem to show the bird 😑
Indeed. I tried for it yesterday after @ddbirder.bsky.social had found it, but no luck. It showed for a few seconds today allowing me to take a great phone pic 😅
Don't bother looking 😉
Another one that I could easily have missed. Clinging to the edge of a random piece of offcut wood.
Nice double that. My Streak was paired with a Firecrest at Carsi 😃
The first Merv is a major distraction, it's a wonder you noticed the Streak.
A new moth for me last night with this Streak. Scarce in VC57 in recent years, and probably not on the radar (also larger than I envisaged). A late Green Brindled Crescent, 2 Red-line Quaker, another Brick amongst the usual Red-green Carpets. #TeamMoth
Now you just need to narrow it down 😉
I'm sure you will 💪
I know what you mean though 😔
A species that wasn't really on the radar (tease, tease). I'm not feeling it myself tbh, but I'm glad I persevered.
Another wet and breezy night here in Cromford. Preliminary checks suggest 14 of 9. There is however a nfm amongst those 😃.
Photos will have to wait until later 🙄
Meanwhile here's a very funky Epirrita.

One of the finest mothing experiences 🙂
