@DW_Emley Well that would make sense given this summer’s temperatures!

@DerwentBirder @CliveAshton5 @Willowglass12 Great photo. My garden is absolutely full of these little guys…

We all have our markers for changing seasons. For me, autumn begins not with the first conker or falling leaves, but the first Sallow. Centre-Barred and Orange this morning.

@jarpartridge Wow! Impressive find. Surely a UK first?

@AugustoCos1 Love your photos with this little guy. Thanks!

I believe this is an Olive Crescent moth - if so, that’s a first for me in the garden!

[andy @drandyjackson]

@AugustoCos1 That’s the pinkest nose I’ve ever seen!

Every year I have a new moth recording book. This year’s cover has been beautifully painted by my wife. Not sure I will be getting too many moon moths in Surrey, but it will make me smile every time I enter records!

@AnnandTerrySmi1 Running the first trap of the year tonight. Hoping for more than ladybirds!

@DW_Emley I saw a bumble bee…

@AnnandTerrySmi1 Thank you!

Weaver’s Fritillary. A very occasional visitor to the UK but this one at rest in the Dordogne.
