No Moths Today!

Hi Woofers.

Daisy here.

Well, it had to happen, this morning when OTL and I inspected the moth trap there was nothing but egg cartons on the bottom of the moth trap, plus a couple of mosquitoes!

We had to run The Missus down to Ditton to help get set-up for the glue slapping show where TM is doing some demonstrations of card making. There have been 250 advance bookings made, according to TM. So, it should be loads of fun.

There are no photos of moths or woofers cos we couldn't find any!

We got half way around the sea front and I decided that I'd rather go home than stand around getting blown all over the place.

This afternoon I did an 'Archie' and had a snooze and a cuddle before going to collect TM!

So, that's about it for today, bye for now.

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.

Say Cheeeese!

 Hello Woofers.

Daisy here.

You may be interested in the set-up to photograph the moths, so, here it is. 

Camera with 105mm Macro lens, two flash heads controlled by wireless and the camera mount taken from a tripod and finally a clamp taken from a bird spotting telescope, a clamp to attach to a hide when looking at the birdies and no, I've never tried train spotting! 

This is the work bench.

This is a Heart & Dart

This one you know as a Common Wainscot


This is a new one, a Shuttle-Shaped Dart.

Finally, this one is Heart & Club

We are looking forward to better weather when there should be more moths as well as butterflies.

Today OTL has also been working on the big car, he has installed a new set of windscreen wipers.

Not that we are expecting rain, but you never know!

The big car has a full tank of diesel 'cos we have to take TM to a show or something over the next few days so it's pizza and chips for OTL, but at least we get a chance for a snooze, until she wants to go home!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy.
