Purple Thorn giving me the eye this morning #teammoth

Lesser Swallow Prominent (I think) from my Staffs garden last night. Only started with the trap last autumn so another ‘new for me’ moth #teammoth

Hundreds of Sand Martin through Blithfield this morning followed by a few Swallow. Pair of Greater Scaup, Kittiwake showed well by causeway. Ruddy shelduck in fields with 2 Egyptian Geese. Nice to hear a singing Blackcap. @staffsbirdnews.bsky.social

Taken at Winterbourne House Birmingham today, any ideas what it is? #bugs

One of a decent sized flock of Long Tailed Tits that visited my Staffordshire garden this morning. #birds

Very few from last night. Struggling to identify this one, Marbled Minor maybe but is it the wrong time of year? Apologies for poor photo. Still early days for me! #teammoth

This popped up last night in my Staffordshire garden. Not sure what it is? Not the best photo. #teammoth

First week using the trap so many firsts for me. Orange Sallow, Green Silver-Lines and Light Emerald (I think) #teammoth

First go at using a trap last night. So my ID challenges start now. Any idea what this one is? #teammoth

One of the local Peregrine chicks getting very close to fledging at a West Midlands location. #ukbirding

A bit of a wet and wild day here in Bude. Plenty of Manx shearwaters battling the weather out there.

So I thought I’d see if there are any Grasshopper Warblers at Wimblebury Mound near Hednesford. This is what I found, large area of bramble and scrub completely cleared. Such a shame. #ukbirding @staffsbirdnews.bsky.social
