First British example of the weevil - gasterocercus depressirostris trapped in my VC15 moth trap on 27/9. A rare species in its central and Southern European range. Well worth potting anything unusual, not just moths!

With the first Cory’s and Sooty Shearwaters past the headland this week, there’s no better time to remind you about the upcoming FBO Seawatch Festival on the August bank holiday.
