http://waldridgenaturalist.blogspot.com/2014/07/fridays-moth-trap.html
Saturday, 26 July 2014. It took some time to go through everything in my moth trap the other morning with 305 individuals of 67 species being present. I'll not list them all but here's some pictures of a few of them. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bryotropha terrella at last. Today I went to Gateshead. Better do some more blogging. The species lists below are those I have observed and mentioned in this blog. The ones highlighted in bold, I have managed to get a photograph and upload it. Oystercatche...

A Waldridge Naturalist: June 2013
http://waldridgenaturalist.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, 22 June 2013. Like a Lady in the wind. I had the moth trap out briefly last night but the rain and wind stopped play. Still I got a couple of species new for the year and also 2 Small Elephant Hawkmoth which was very nice. With the help of a short wander today in the breezy wind I saw a few other new ones bring the list to 597, the best being a very worn Painted Lady butterfly on the old pit heap. The latest additions are. 587 Brachypodium sylvaticum (False-brome). The (very worn) Painted Lady.

A Waldridge Naturalist: August 2014
http://waldridgenaturalist.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 31 August 2014. My only post this month and only just. I have been very lazy with my posts and I have just managed to get a post in during August. I have been out and about but not only around here but a little further afield occasionally. A little pastime I have challenged myself with is what is called Pan-Listing. Quite a few naturalists, many a great deal better than myself, have started listing and a very good site has been started. That then headed on eastwards. Is a tiny little moth with a ...

As well as hitting numbers 1103-1109 today with a few more mosses, fungi and a lichen it was nice to just have a slow walk around the square and even venturing outside it.

Were in one of the arable fields. And about 40 Golden Plover. Golden Plover flying over. The species lis...

A Waldridge Naturalist: Bryotropha terrella at last
http://waldridgenaturalist.blogspot.com/2014/07/bryotropha-terrella-at-last.html
Tuesday, 29 July 2014. Bryotropha terrella at last. Put the trap out again last night, 185 moths of 54 species, but nothing really out of the ordinary except a small, dull grey micromoth with a scientific name of Bryotropha terrella. It's a common species, occurring in long grass and I should have seen one before but I hadn't until this one in the moth trap this morning. A couple of the rest. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bryotropha terrella at last. Today I went to Gateshead. Bats - 2 species *.

A Waldridge Naturalist: August 2013
http://waldridgenaturalist.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 26 August 2013. Waldridge - 908 species - on the final straight. It's been a good month for the list and despite being away in Croatia for a while, I've gone past the 90% mark for my 1000 species in this Waldridge 1km square challenge. The moth trap has been most productive and even overnight last night gave me a few new for the year viz -. Dusky Thorn - there were 4 of this rather uncommon moth in the trap. Were lurking somewhere, but to get 22 species in my square is excellent. It was quiet ove...

A Waldridge Naturalist: A new moth for me
http://waldridgenaturalist.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-new-moth-for-me.html
Thursday, 4 September 2014. A new moth for me. The moth trap last night contained an Orange Sallow. My first new macro moth for ages. Also some other uncommon species for the garden, Barred Chestnut, Autumnal Rustic. And the micros Lobesia littoralis. As well a a couple migrant Diamond-back Moths. And a Silver Y. I'm quite happy with that lot. Also a new beetle for me. Which helps my pan-listing attempt on a tiny bit to 2613. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A new moth for me. Bats - 2 species *.
