Too many tubes

 So I bought 1,000 tubes earlier this year thinking they would last me a long time. I did give away and sell a few but I seem to have got through 400 or so. There are quite a few recycled in my use-again tub, I broke a few, a fair few in pockets, bags, cars etc but the specimen fridge is rather full. A lot of identifying needs to happen at some point.


Gratuitous Fulmar photos.

Insect of the day was Lesser Willow Sawfly, I found a few feeding in... willow.


Euura pavida.

You can see the damage they can do to a plant from the remains of the leaf in the background. They have been recorded in Orkney previously but there are very few records on NBN.

In the garden today Goldcrest, quite early in the year for one. Common Crossbill flew over.
