I have read The Red Rover by James Fenimore Cooper.

Not much luck on our South Norfolk Christmas break until 5 Mottled Umbers turned up last night. #teammoth.

Maybe Christmas isn't so bad after all.

I have read The Sleeping Beauty by Elizabeth Taylor.

I have read Red Riding 1983 by David Peace.

The Blastobasis sp. I found on Nov. 30-Dec 02 has now been confirmed (without dissection) by the CMR as B. vittata on account of the 'clear black shoulder marks'. Be interesting to see how he feels about the one I found this morning alongside 2 moths that look more like adustella. VC25 #teammmoth.

This morning's walk around the park, VC25, produced 3 Common Plumes (one of them looking very frosty), a lovely Mottled Umber and 11 Winter Moths. #teammoth.

I have read Permafrost by Alastair Reynolds.

I have read People of the Lake by Richard Leakey and Roger Letwin.

VC25. Dark Chestnut in the trap last night. 2 Rusty-dot Pearl, Large Pale Masoner and Double-striped Pug on the store window. #teammoth.

I have read Piranesi by Susanna Clarke.

I have read Pinocchio in Venice by Robert Coover.

Still a few interesting moths on the store window, VC25; Female Winter Moth, an attractive Mottled Umber and a very late Double-striped Pug (two previous county records on this date). #teammoth.
