Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I’ve put the moth trap out a few times this winter but with no luck, but last night I caught our first moth of the year near to the porch light. A Spring Usher (Agriopis leucophaeria). Not a bad looking moth and hopefully one that is ushering in the spring, although, we’ve woken up to...
As you may know from recent posts I’ve started moth trapping and have been part of the formation of the Ceredigion Moth Group. It’s all a little ‘geeky’ but I quite enjoy the moth trapping, as does Morgan and learning more about the creatures around us is always a good thing. Keeping records of them...
The Ceredigion Moth Group is up and running and we seem to be making some progress. I’ve set up a mailing list so that we can all keep in touch with each other and we have been sending our records from 2009 to the new County Recorder. I only had a fairly small number of...
This weekend is the weekend that the RSPB have picked for their Big Garden Birdwatch. All you have to do to join in and help with the data is sit down for an hour (preferably with a cup of coffee) and count the birds you see in your garden. You count the number of birds...

I attended the formative meeting of the Ceredigion Moth Group last night. Unfortunately there hasn’t been an active moth group in the county for quite some time and there hasn’t really been any structured recording of the species that we get. All other counties in England and Wales seem to have active moth groups and...
In my continuing attempt to photograph all of the species of birds in our garden, here are a couple of the often overlooked Starling and one of some Canada Geese flying overhead.
The Snipe that I spotted in the garden yesterday didn’t return, so while I was sat there with the camera set up I decided to take a few photos of the more common birds in the garden, those that are usually overlooked. I think it will be a little photo assignment of mine now to...
Spotted a snipe in the garden this morning… Managed a blurry photo of it but I have the camera set up ready for its return. Bet it won’t come back now!
