Its been a while since I last bothered @MOTHIDUK . Sorry, knew it couldn't last forever! First one a marbled minor agg? 2nd and 3rd dark versions of something? 4th is a big micro I'm thinking, some kind of straw?

Was happy to see with my @Morrisons More Card I was getting a free jar of #BonneMaman peanut butter. Offer just ended, in the weeks it ran not a sign of even a single jar on the shelves. #gutted 🙁

Fabulous day @RSPBFrampton. Clear blue sky, interesting birds and delicious cheese scones🙂Best of all, bumped into an old friend from my radio days @BirderChris @Natures_Voice

Off to @RSPBTitchwell today. Dipped on Hume's, dipped on Firecrest. But did find the tawny owl, and a bacon and cheese toastie!

Also spotted @_TCartz and @JoshFusiara , though not sure they are tickable. Possibly feral rather than truly wild... 😛

Semi-regular trip to go see how the other half live at @RSPBTitchwell. Bit wet here! Black-winged stilt, friendly pigeon watching me watching the birds at Patsy's. Now time for lunch, what to have...

The new house seems to be paying off with mothing. Certainly, I can never remember catching Frosted Orange, Large Thorn or Centre-barred Sallow before.

Four from last night. Spruce carpet, white satin, browntail (one of 4) and canary-shouldered thorn

Bit of moth trapping last night. Just the two I'm puzzling over, and I feel I really ought to know them. I bet I'll be kicking myself if @MOTHIDUK does their usual great (and very patient) business

Trying to return an item to @WayfairUK. Initial DHL barcode given didn't work. Have tried twice since then but online chat people just say new barcode will be sent, then nothing happens. Rubbish! I want my money back! :( I even have to pay to return the subpar item, dreadful :(
