Hi, we are currently investigating using two way Radios for birding in our area and I was wondering if anyone had any advice or knowledge on this. There are about 3 main areas each a few miles apart and we would hope that maybe 20 birders might start using them. I know on Scilly they use radios...

Hi, Its been raining all day here and I've just braved it to empty the traps. For the last few years I have always used a notebook to note what is in the trap as I empty them before transferring the data to mapmate but every time it is damp the book gets soaked and I have nowhere dry to empty...

Hi, things are still very quiet on Teesside with an average of 1 moth a day from the two traps so I am trying to use the spare time to improve my pug ID. My first attempt isn't going well as I find the Pug book hard to use and the pictures to small so I would appreciate it if someone could let...

Hi, can anyone confirm if they are happy this is Zelleria hepariella. Everything looks good but I am not sure if the antenna are quite stripy enough and I can find a very limited number of photographs (one looks similair but another seems to be more stripey). The length was 8mm and it was...
