An occasional blog from Devon, SW England. Photos, days out, gripes and foreign trips will be written about at the least. Much of it may relate to birding, invertebrates and general natural history, so steer clear if that's anathema!

Devon occasional: Inselaffe am See - part II
http://devon-occasional.blogspot.com/2015/07/inselaffe-am-see-part-ii.html
Wednesday, 29 July 2015. Inselaffe am See - part II. Re-wet my floodplain. Death by drowning for the conifers, life through light and water for the rest. A wonderful wet mix of marsh and swamp vegetation. A small, but rather beautiful, micro-moth in the margins of the re-wetted areas near Blankenfoerde. Setting off, Lissa snuggled down and went to sleep within about two minutes - result! I set myself into a gentle amble and did some mobile birding, botanising and general wildlife-watching on the hoof.
Devon occasional: May 2013
http://devon-occasional.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, 23 May 2013. Having a small person in the house now means that some things have changed radically. Our time outdoors is constrained by sleep patterns (to some degree) and time spent with the camera is now precious. That said, the recent spell of (whisper it) fine weather here has given me an opportunity to get out into the garden and appreciate what's lurking in the vegetation there. One of a number of slender hoverflies which cruises the garden - this one a rather black/bottle-green animal.
Devon occasional: August 2013
http://devon-occasional.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 28 August 2013. The moth itself, before its trip through the post. I gently encouraged it out of the jar and into a small box, where Basti and I took a good look at it. Seemed innocuous enough and also depressingly anonymous: fairly plain brown above and below, though with rather pointed wings. So, I enlisted the aid of the experts - why have 'em if you can't? Aka the Angoumois Grain Moth. Though the species is a grain pest. Male genitalia of Sitotroga cerealella. 169; R. Heckford, 2013).
Devon occasional: June 2013
http://devon-occasional.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 30 June 2013. A rather random collection of sightings this month. I've been out to do some bird surveys (for work, even: makes a pleasant change! On a brighter note though, the (a) pair of Treecreepers used the same gap behind a Marsh Tit nest tat was used last year, and seem to have fledged a full brood of five - last year the chicks all drowned in a torrential downpour (otherwise known as June 2012). I think this is Caloptilia cuculipenella. Easy: nice male Azure Damselfly, Coenagrion puella.
Devon occasional: February 2014
http://devon-occasional.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Monday, 17 February 2014. Back out to do some ringing - it seems like forever since the last session, though in fact it's only (only! A month. My glamorous assistant cried off late on Saturday evening, so I had the site to myself - and as wife and child are living it up in Germany for a couple of days, I had the luxury of no guilty conscience at work by the end of the session. That will be interesting! Sparrowhawk. Talons safely the other side of my mitt. Yesterday produced a handful of experienced indiv...

Devon occasional
Sunday, 20 November 2016. Time to turn a little more occasional. As we've taken the decision to leave the UK, it seems a little too occasional to maintain a Devon Occasional blog full-time, so I'm taking the chance to make a new start. You can find out where we've gone (tricky guess) and a bit more about the local area at http:/ inselaffe-abroad.blogspot.de/. And if you needed a clue, it's right there in the address. Sunday, 18 September 2016. Dripping towards a close. It was fun while it lasted. The jou...
