@trapsite Hi Sean, my trap also had a Bordered Straw this morning (Bexhill seafront). Can you confirm that this is also an Eastern? Thanks, Keith.

Perhaps surprisingly, this is the first Latticed Heath that I have trapped in my VC14 garden. What a stunning moth though.

@PopeyeSeven You tagged in the wrong Keith Hackett mate.

[Keith Hackett @HackettKeith]

@plodingbirder I feel your pain 😭

[Keith Hackett @HackettKeith]

@TheDetermin8or Nice. Hope you're on the mend Sean.

[Keith Hackett @HackettKeith]

@QTheMusicShow Thanks for a great show in Bexhill. Such a shame that the concert had to be cut short due to unforseen circumstances. Hopefully you guys will return at some point so we can see the full set.

[Keith Hackett @HackettKeith]

These two are new to my VC14 garden. Brown-veined Wainscot and Webb's Wainscot. With thanks to @MOTHIDUK for confirmation 👍.

@JonCurson B. Rebeli? - Marsh Dowd. I had one a few days ago.

[Keith Hackett @HackettKeith]

My first Vapourer last night in my garden trap gets me to 550 species for my vc14 garden.

[Keith Hackett @HackettKeith]

Now taken. Thanks.

I have for sale a Swarovski scope setup. It is an ATX 85 with 25-60 zoom eyepiece. I am selling for a friend who, due to ill health, can no longer use it. It is 10 years old and in perfect condition and has a stay-on case. Looking for offers over £2000 for him.

@wildrye1 These gave the superb backdrop to our cellar tour there last Saturday. Great to see and hear them around the church.

[Keith Hackett @HackettKeith]

My second Brussels Lace for my garden last night was the highlight of another fairly poor haul.

[Keith Hackett @HackettKeith]

@plodingbirder Wow, absolutely gorgeous photos. You don't get moments like that very often.

[Keith Hackett @HackettKeith]

I love a bird that poses for you long enough to get focused! This hedgerow near the Polegate windfarm is supporting a few Yellowhammers. Lovely in this morning's sunshine.

[Keith Hackett @HackettKeith]

A nice walk through Darwell Wood this morning with singing Turtle Dove and Gardens Warblers the highlight. @SussexOrnitholo
