Enjoy birding at the weekend with the lads.

I had a couple of hours at Roydon Common this afternoon. A Silver-washed Fritillary was probably the highlight. I managed pictures of Ringlet, Common Darter, Four-banded Longhorn Beetle and Pellucid Fly.

@Norfolk400club I was thinking that I can’t remember the last time I saw one when I snapped this photo the other night.

It was nice to lure Small Brindled Beauty to the light trap last night.

[Garry Nobbs @GarryNobbs]

I had a fairly pleasing haul last night. Pink-barred Sallow, Merveille du Jour, Blair’s Shoulder-Knot and Green-brindled Crescent all came to the light.

[Garry Nobbs @GarryNobbs]

A nice surprise to find a Clancy’s Rustic in the trap this morning. @Norfolk400club @Fenlandbirding

[Garry Nobbs @GarryNobbs]

I had another good haul last night. 25 species. I caught my first Cypress Pug and Old Lady moths. Also pictured are Frosted Orange and Large Thorn.

[Garry Nobbs @GarryNobbs]

Loads of Large Yellow Underwing last night; 73. Also Chinese Character and Canary-shouldered Thorn.

[Garry Nobbs @GarryNobbs]

Nice to catch up with the American Golden Plover at Titchwell today. Wasp Spiders too.

[Garry Nobbs @GarryNobbs]

The trap was fairly busy again last night with 34 species. Pictured are Elephant Hawk-Moth, Pearl Grass-veneer, Dingy Shears and Elder Pearl.

I had a nice walk at Narborough Railway Line this afternoon. Took a few photos while I was there. Wasp Beetle, Stripe-winged Grasshopper, Brown Argus and Lace Border.

@Norfolk400club @MigrantMothUK @norfolkmoths Nice catch mate, your traps certainly bring in the goodies.

[Garry Nobbs @GarryNobbs]

Small Clouded Brindle and Rustic Shoulder-knot were lured to the trap last night.

[Garry Nobbs @GarryNobbs]

14 Moths of 6 species trapped last night. Pictured are Oak Beauty, Small Quaker and Clouded Drab. I think the other is a Lead-coloured Drab. @MOTHIDUK

[Garry Nobbs @GarryNobbs]

It was nice to have this Pale Brindled Beauty come to light last night.

[Garry Nobbs @GarryNobbs]

Nice that the trap lured Scarce Umber, Mottled Umber and Feathered Thorn. I'm not entirely sure about the micro's ID though. @Norfolk400club @MOTHIDUK

[Garry Nobbs @GarryNobbs]

I trapped a Pale-lemon Sallow last night. I've been informed that it's quite a scarce moth. @Norfolk400club @MOTHIDUK

[Garry Nobbs @GarryNobbs]

Just a few pics from a couple of trapping sessions. Small Square-spot and Feathered Gothic were both new. Also pictured are Square-spot Rustic and Frosted Orange.

[Garry Nobbs @GarryNobbs]

Around 38 species were lured to the trap last night, it seemed fairly loaded. Pictured are Bordered Straw, Iron Prominent, Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing. The other one could be a Cabbage Moth. @MOTHIDUK

[Garry Nobbs @GarryNobbs]

I've just had this Blackbird with white cheeks at the bird bath. Never seen one like it before.

[Garry Nobbs @GarryNobbs]

I had my first Boxworm Moth come to the trap last night. Also pictured, Ruby Tiger, Knot Grass and Lesser Yellow Underwing.
