Beautiful selection of photos, they range so much even just within a county, should be very proud of getting so many beautiful unusual moths for you area

Sadly I feel it won’t happen, without nature we can’t live, we rely on it to produce our food, water and air. Sadly things like the nhs, education, emergency services are at breaking point alongside nature. What is the answer? I feel it will be down to groups like rspb to push public for change

Strange isn’t, I had 15 eyed for the first time but no pine this year and only 1 small Nellie compared to 20 odd the year before mind you I can’t compare to Alan’s impressive collection! Stunning moths there

Looks very well organised! More than one days moth results would um confuse the heck out of me. Must admit I use iRecord to hold my main lists, goes to the CR, always have a year list and a note book with day results in, find it easier finding past moths in paper

It’s grim isn’t! Just driven 5miles before a hill defeated us, reversed 1.5miles before finding a decent turning spot, got back and saw a teal fly in and a goosander feeding just off shore

Thank it’s incredible place, spent a day on Skye and on pass of the cattle and not seen one, thought that was it with the weather forecast, seeing it soaring on the mountain side and with snow covered mountains behind, harbour porpoise in the loch in front too
