Yep I could geek out on an app like that for a looong time Two came up in the search, which icon looks like the right one? The first one is the same one I use. Cool to know they are global. It is SOOOO fun, I spend a lot of time seeking out new stuff to identify. I also have one for clouds, but it isn't as fun as iNaturalist. They also have the web site that you can look at your account on for more details. HAVE FUN!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 We get Elephant Hawk Moths in our garden. I try to remove them when they are caterpillars as they love Fuchsia,s, and will strip the plant bare in a couple of days, hence we have very few Fuchsia,s left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Our back garden is like aviary.........Jackdaws, Crows, Pigeons, Jays and every member of the Tit family, but Sparrows, Starlings and Blackbirds we hardly see. Oh and Squirrels!.....the bastids can destroy a bird feeder in a few day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The noise this lot make on my roof at the crack of dawn if unbelievable you'd think they were all wearing hob nailed boots. Haven't seen any magpies but there is a jackdaw floating about here with a few white feathers on him/her 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen any magpies but there is a jackdaw floating about here with a few white feathers on him/her We are quite well positioned on the very edge of town, a lot of wooded areas and open grasslands too. Most morning when I was going to work (middle of the night) I would see several Muntjac dear, and occasionally one of the bigger deer. And Fox,s!!!.....see them every day when I am out, morning, noon or night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 On my way to the beach, this morning, left the fucking car what seemed like 50 miles away from where I should if I had a parking place like Tim’s. Still, gave me the chance to marvel at a quiet morning on the Faro marshes 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
