My blue tits fledged on Saturdy 1st June and this one was the last to leave the box. Seven fledged altogether and we have thoroughly enjoyed watching them on our nest box camera over the last few weeks.
we leave it on all night and see what we've got in the mornings. the moths are atracted to the light and crash around like they do, fall through a narrow gap between two sheets of perspex, can't get out and hide amonst the egg boxes in the bottom til we come and look. we have a friend who's had a lot of experience and we sit there with the moth book and camera identifying the moths. Coffee and crissants are essential to the event.
bats are very low here this year, maybe the weather of the last year has been too much for them. our bedroom window is still covered with droppings and pee though.
Its an anti Pidgeon device luckly i don't have any Squirrels in my garden. The best feeder i have bought is this anti Starling one, not cheap but does the job

Nice to see this thread back in action. I'd forgotten it. Nice pic daintiness.
I have a Green Carpet moth to offer. One from last weekend's trap.
In the sticks near Peterborough
How do you set up a mothtrap.? I would like to see what we get at night. No bats so far this year.
steve i love your squirrel proof feeder
what a pretty moth nut
sorry fb I missed this yesterday. we have a rather crude Skinner type trap, see link.

Spotted this little fella today loving the tiny flowers on my Basil
a pair of these have been following each other in my garden past 3 days now
Thought I'd bump this tread with a new piccy - an unusual trio just taken:
All basking on a Kiwi leaf.
