@bobservablelife @neilhardy999 @clarehm123 A lot of surgeries are stopping the automatic repeats now and you have to reapply every month for just 28 days worth, ok unless you are a tad forgetful and run out before reordering

@neilhardy999 @clarehm123 This is what was left in Mother-in-law's house, took three trips to carry it to the car. In some cases enough to have lasted her nearly 3 years! Seemingly down to automatic repeats. The level of waste seems extraordinary when you would think the amounts issued would be tracked.

@mickey_ratfink @MigrantMothUK Damn good too, you would gas them all off with the extra strong cheesy smell 😂😂

@BirdingT25540 @MigrantMothUK I wouldn't need to take my socks off to count the migrants I've had this year!!😄

Hooray! Migrant action in S Monmouthshire! TWO palpita vitrealis last night in a total of 14 of 12. Only Nfy was a cypress carpet. 2 pine, one common marbled carpet, and a green brindled crescent best of the rest. @MigrantMothUK #mothsmatter #teammoth

@WheatersDave Cheers Dave, no idea what I have got yet! Hope you managed a few?

@BirdingT25540 Good luck Tom, maybe one of the elusive migrant moths is still kicking around 🤷🏻‍♂️

Traps out, anyone else having a go?

@StarBede Understand she loves this guy and she must be heartbroken! However he can’t feel the same about her, partnerships/marriage isn’t about frail egos it’s about partnership, making a life together not about who earns more!

My friend got engaged in May this year and their traditional wedding was meant to be in November. She called me yesterday in tears to tell me the engagement had been called off. She got a new job last month and the salary is so huge that she will earn three times more than the guy. He was uncomfortable with it and asked her to reject it or the engagement would be called off. He said she won't respect him if she earns that much. All efforts to convince him proved ineffective and she agreed to call the engagement off. I can't believe this is happening in 2024!

@Natures_Voice This red squirrel on the IoW yesterday, came soo close to us and we stood still and watched, incredible moment we both had,

@Willowglass12 @MoMetalTrax @groovesvillewkd @ricksaints76 @jimihawkes @ACrossHammer Maidens power slave was imho one of their best albums with cracking songs and riffs….. however ride the lighting was truely one of the greatest albums recorded and to me took Metallica to the start of the level they are now, so it has to be RTL,

@CliveAshton5 @mickey_ratfink @adesturner Haha how thin are we talking here?

@mickey_ratfink @adesturner @BirdingT25540 It's a thin line between optimism and insanity. 🤪

@WheatersDave Must be the newbie that one 😂

@BirdingT25540 One of them does, the other has been dressed for winter since late summer 😂

No pulse raising Pinions but a steady 22 of 9 in the moth trap. Best was a Sallow SE VC11

@WheatersDave 😂 you wimp bet your posties still wearing his shorts 😂

@BirdingT25540 Cold but not too bad. Definitely not shorts weather 😂

@ruth_newby @ivysuckle @pmandrews1973 @BCWarwickshire What a beautiful moth Ruth and welldone for getting it at last,

Saved from a damp Wogan by this Green-brindled Crescent NFG, undoubtedly a result of @ivysuckle ‘s recent charm. Thank you Dud 💚🙏 It even brought a Silver Y along for company! @pmandrews1973 @BCWarwickshire

@titchfieldhaven @hantsconnect That’s fantastic and what a day the sites having a deaths-head hatching and a brown booby flying over! Worth doing the lottery tonight

This awesome caterpillar was found on the reserve 6 weeks ago, and has now hatched into a stunning Death's-head Hawkmoth, with the distinctive 'skull' shape on the back of the head. It will be released back onto the reserve this evening. Another wonder of nature! @hantsconnect

@IoloWilliams2 Any type of cake? Dorset apple cake might be a good one for Christchurch?

My next two talks, this time with the proper dates & spelling! 19/11 - The Regent, Christchurch. 20/11 - Spotlight Theatre, Hoddesdon Please bring cake 🎂

@WheatersDave Ahh good I’m hoping there will be a few more about tonight as well 😂

@BirdingT25540 The line Quakers are hardy moths 💪🏻

No funny skies for me lastnight and the moth trap wasn’t a chequebook and pen but 2 😱 temps down to 3c here as well, beaded chestnut was my second but a red-lined Quaker was another nfg happy it was out lastnight #teammoths #mothsmatter

@adesturner Exactly my thinking too! So much that I’m trying to work out the best way to waterproof my trap this weekend so I can do it in all weathers 😂😂
