Hi Dallas,

Good to hear from someone from that end – we’re a bit biased to the North here I’m afraid. So feel free to post any sightings from Long Eaton or Attenborough – I can create you an account if you want one.

Chris I have only just found your site and previously reported anything interetsing to Attenborough as I often go round Long Eaton gravel pits and along the trent at Attenborough/Cranfleet lock area.
Rod Keys site has some reporting on the L.E. pits but it’s not updated very often. I have found your link from the Clifton grove birds web site which is excellent. Thanks

Steve,

Looks like you’ve cracked dragonflies – now about those day moths? Any description?

I didn’t know anything about moths until a month or two ago when I started taking an interest. Here’s my beginners opinion:

Often in ungrazed meadows you get moths from the subfamily Crambinae (Grass Moths) which dive out of the way and I find fairly difficult to id, though they curl up their wings and have a snout.

I saw a Yellowshell up their the other day, a yellow Geometridae (a large family of moths with contour lines across their wings).
