The Alchemist My 600th Norfolk macro moth Many, many thanks to Craig for the share and organisation #teammoth #norfolkmoths I say 600th, one of those is a still unidentified adventive, so I suppose it’s officially 599! I wonder what my official 600th will be?!

I’m doing a tidy and need to free up space. I have spare pots, tubing for pooters if you want a longer collection tube, and I’m able to knock up about 10 pooters if anyone is interested. All at cost and postage as I need them gone. The pooters work and tested last night. DM is interested #teammoth

Cley: Marsh Warbler from path parallel to coast road c150m from East Bank this evening. Mimicry incl Blue Tit, Blackcap, Redstart #norfolkbirding #ukbirding

SERVER UPGRADE Please note norfolkmoths.co.uk and several other Lepidoptera UK sites will be down for essential maintenance on Friday 30th. Will be back up and running as soon as possible. #norfolkmoths

Glyphipterix forsterella - 2nd for Norfolk! Netted during the day, last week, at Lolly Moor NWT It took a while before Marcus was able to get pictures good enough to publish, so many thanks to him! #norfolkmoths #teammoth

Day flying (primarily Breckland) specialities - one of which has come to light in my garden. Speckled Yellow (I still end up calling this Speckled Wood, occasionally!), Clouded Buff, Small Yellow Underwing (a macro smaller than the micro, Mint Moth!) & Burnet Companion #norfolkmoths #teammoth

As a Norfolk Moth-er, I find it amazing to think that this beauty is a garden moth, for some people #jealous #norfolkmoths

Two of my favourite day flying micros: Alabonia geoffrella and Nemophora degeerella, both found today at Sparham Pools NWT #norfolkmoths #teammoth My iPhone pics do not do either of them justice!

I still have 4 spaces left on this Friday evening's dusk walk at RSPB Strumpshaw Fen - last week we saw 3 Cuckoo, Hobby, a dozen Common Sandpiper and more! #NorfolkBirding You can book places here: events.rspb.org.uk/browse?filte...
