A couple of early-stages on hazel found this afternoon at Burbage Wood, Leics. Leafmines of Paracrania chrysolepidella (though I only found vacated mines, usually still tenanted around now), and larval feeding signs of Nemapogon clematella on Hazel Woodwart fungi. #vc55moths #teammoth

Out of Norfolk for a day or two, in the exotic surroundings of South Cambs. I came across this Ischnomera cyanea on a tree trunk, which is nice cuz there aren’t many records from Norfolk.

An amazing encounter with a nursery pod of Risso's Dolphins today on our Shetland Nature tour, while out off Noss with @thenossboat.bsky.social - as ever, exemplary boat-handling by skipper Phil with the animals' welfare always at the forefront. And yes, that's a bonus Puffin!
