What a lovely week! Last week that is, with the hot sunshine beating down throughout. This week hasn't been bad either to be honest, and we got a nice storm on Friday morning :)
Last week I went up to a friends house for the second half of the week (many thanks mate!) to a spot of moth trapping and butterfly huntin'!
Over the course of the week, we saw an incredible 18 species of butterfly and a variety of moths, both macro and micro.
My favourite moth of the week had to be the Poplar Hawk Moth, which is a beasty! We caught 6 in total, and got some great pictures and videos (I'll upload the videos later).
Some beautiful butterflies too, notably the stunning Peacock butterfly, which I've chosen as the picture for this blog post - stunning, ain't it?
On a rockpooling note, the mega low-tide trip to Scarborough on Monday is still very much on the cards. The weather looks pretty decent at this stage, and with a tide of 0.52m, we can't fail to see some fantasic sealife!
