Have a pair of little field voles living in the compost heap, they share it with slow worms in the summer. Also there are the frogs and newts in the pond.

Seen today.Brimstone in town of all places, 2 small tortoiseshell, a comma, several peacock butterfly, a pair of goldcrest, several wild bees, bumbles tads and a pair of newts in my pond. The OH reckons he saw a pair of swallows in their normal nesting place at a cottage up the road. I can't count that, I didn't see it. . .

Well I thought I had beaten all my records when I saw my first swallow on the 5th of April. Today I saw a hummingbird moth on a grape hyacinth ! I couldn't believe it but fortunately my wife was with me to confirm it. We are in Herefordshire. Dont normally see them until August, if at all

Saw my first swallow on Saturday. On the Great Orme, Llandudno, where I work.

Lucky man! I've never seen a wild otter.

See them most times i go fishing. However there is one on my local river the Tywi who appears all times of day, and night, right next to a public footpath!

Possibly it has spent some time in captivity , a pair were released on a stretch of the Till in Northumberland were i used to fish for sea trout.
Whist not approachable if you remained still it sometimes came so close you could touch it with your rod tip !

The first time i viewed the river i could hear cubs 'peeping' from a holt in dense undergrowth.

I saw this moth (I think it is a moth)and its not in my book.


Can anyone identify it?

Quarry tile moth ?

Quarry tile moth ? 

  Although to be precise it should be a brick moth

I did have a look on a couple of moth id sites but could not find a match !
