downs above Mottistone to meet up with an old (young) friend, George Greiff. Over
the last few years George has been exploring the Bryophyte world of mosses
& liverworts on the Island.</span><br />

it was doing exactly what the book says, being ‘most often encountered as
scattered shoots several centimetres long.’ Other mosses included the tiny – and
special – <i>Pottiopsis caespitosa</i>, and <i>Fissidens dubius</i>.</span><br />

that is, fungi that are parasitic on lichens. This is not a great photo but
illustrates 2 species on the lichen, Physcia tenella. The small pink balls on
the right are <i>Illosporiopsis christiansenii</i> and the pinkish colouring on the

Inspired by this I made my way down the road to Afton Marsh, my favourite hoverfly-hunting spot over several years. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sure enough: species no.2, one of several Episyrphus balteatus
hoverflies.

Because I was on my way to the Isle of Wight for a few days I wasn't able to follow this up myself, and so Alan made his way to the local Koi Carp Company at the first opportunity and, almost straightaway, found a spider in a tub which he subsequently bought. Alan's brilliant photos are below. I finally caught up with the spider this afternoon.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I’d
really been looking to Sunday's excursion to Whipsnade Zoo with Alan Outen and our
two County lichenologists, Martin Butler & Mark Powell and knew that it was a great opportunity to find some very special species. The day got off to
a great start when Alan showed me some locally-found Crowned Earthstar
(Geastrum coronatum), and the Woodlouse, <i>Cylisticus convexus</i>, that he had found
under a stone in Kent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

had an amazing day and I was really inspired by Martin & Mark as they
pointed out various lichens on all kinds of substrate. It was only later in the
day, when I looked up from examining a fence rail and suddenly noticed two Sea-lions

noticed the ‘big stuff’ all around me!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

On the other hand, it's actually been a pretty exciting few weeks for some of the migrants making their way across the Channel in suitable winds.<br />

Bordered Straws have been turning up in good numbers. One person in the Ventnor area has had 40 or so separate individuals in his trap over the past month or so. I finally caught up with 3 on the West Wight whilst trapping at Tennyson Down a week or so ago. Since then a number have been spotted on the cliff edge around Compton Bay.<br />
<br />

A species we're still hoping to come across on the West Wight is the impressive and aptly-named Striped Hawkmoth.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They have turned up in several places in the UK over the past few weeks but this one - caught on Luccombe Down a few days ago - is the first one to be found on the Isle of Wight so far this year. Let's hope it's the first of many!<br />

The Clearwings are really special little moths. Having seen a photo of one on a friend's page, I grabbed my Currant Clearwing pheromone out of the freezer and set off down the road to Freshwater allotments. Having gained permission from one of the allotmenteers (?) I stood upwind and attached the net bag containing the pheromone (an impregnated little rubber bung) to a handy cane. Several minutes later the first of 3 males arrived - that's pretty impressive. I've got a whole set of pheromones so I'm hoping to record more species over the next few weeks during their flying season.Steve Plummerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17921129234327237218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040601373647656293.post-53536950643699022592015-04-14T15:54:00.003+01:002015-04-14T15:56:29.300+01:00Frustration!Just as the sun is starting to shine and the cold wind of the last few weeks is diminishing I've been frustrated by 2 things:<br />
a) A badly infected knee which has meant that I have spent too much time sitting on the settee at home with my foot up, and....<br />
b) My video camera having given up the ghost. John Lewis have discontinued the model so I've got to search the internet and try to find something that will do what I want without breaking the bank!<br />
<br />
But one thing I have been able to do is to take the camera down to Sett C to look in on what the Badgers are up to. It won't be too long before the cubs start appearing above ground!<br />
<br />
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qBlcKquQL4E" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<br />
I was really pleased with the footage - 5 Badgers at one point is a good number for this sett, and there are various bits of family life on show including scent-marking and establishing dominance. As always, self-grooming give the 'ah' factor! When it goes quiet a Red Fox turns up. It looks in good shape until it turns sideways and we can see the mangled remains of the tail. Basil Brush was proud of the subject of his surname, but this one looks a bit sorry for itself! The footage finishes with a Brown Rat that turns up when everything else has moved on.Steve Plummerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17921129234327237218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040601373647656293.post-28918444744803293712015-04-02T19:40:00.001+01:002015-04-02T19:55:25.518+01:00...and Spring continues to march on!I've had so little time to blog in recent days but Spring continues to march on. Today Swallows were seen at Carisbrooke Pond & Bembridge - maybe we will get our first ones for the West Wight this weekend, though the weather forecast is not good. I remember my first Swallow of 2014, suddenly sweeping over my head close to the Freshwater Causeway!<br />

Paul Swain photographed this flock of Shelduck this week - there has been a constant presence on the Western Yar over the last few months but they'll soon be gone. Over the next few weeks anything can turn up on the Estuary. An Osprey was spotted flying over just a few days ago, and there have been Sand Martins feeding on the flies over the Yarmouth Pools. Over the next few weeks I shall be looking out for the first Sandwich Terns and listening out for the first Cuckoo! I was also thrilled to come across two resplendent male Yellowhammers belting out their '...little bit of bread and no cheese' song in the early morning sunshine at Headon Warren a few days ago.<br />
<br />
Badger & Fox cubs may very well start appearing this month...watch this space for the first Trailcam footage!<br />

And, of course, I shall be out looking for insects, especially hoverflies. This is the impressive-looking Criorhina ranunculi, which I caught at Afton Marsh a week or so ago. There are more spectacular creatures on the way! Butterflies are increasing with Brimstones, Red Admirals, Commas & Small Tortoiseshells all flying around whenever the sun comes out! This year I will also be focusing on getting my head around the various species of solitary bee that make their home on the West Wight.<br />

Spring is in the air, and the first Bee-fly of the year always puts a spring in my step! This individual was spotted yesterday at Afton Marsh. It may very well be the freshly-emerged individual that I found in exactly the same place in Afton Marsh back on the 12th March. It looks like it could be used as a dart, but any precision-guidance actually relates to the rear end rather than the head because the female flicks her eggs at the nesting holes of solitary bees and other insects, which is pretty nifty!<br />

A few days ago I did a lesson for a Reception Class at Yarmouth School looking at Bugs & Flowers. I took in some Hazel catkins to show the children.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dYL8_30-5oQ/VQtT72bNUzI/AAAAAAAAf2Q/m8gjmf_Dby8/s1600/S1300228.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dYL8_30-5oQ/VQtT72bNUzI/AAAAAAAAf2Q/m8gjmf_Dby8/s1600/S1300228.JPG" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
They were fascinated by the catkins - the male part of the plant, and also enjoyed searching for the delicate 'female' flowers which are seldom noticed!<br />

Further afield, there are some beautiful Wild Daffodils flowering at Firestone Copse at the moment.<br />

Narrow-leaved Lungwort tends to be confined to Dorset/Hampshire and the Isle of Wight - this flowering clump was the first time that I have come across this species.<br />

I had been wondering what my 100th West Wight bird species of the year would turn out to be and it turned out to be a real beauty. Here is the list:<br />

I've done very little sea-watching this year, so the list is lacking any of the Divers, plus Razorbill and Common Scoter, which I would have expected to come across without too much trouble. It's also meant that I've not seen any Kittiwakes yet after seeing so many last winter. Other big surprises are the lack of Treecreeper, Fieldfare and Little Owl. The big disappointment is missing the 4 Spoonbills that spent a bit of time circling over Yarmouth a few days ago - it's still a bird that I'm yet to encounter in the UK. Although much of my time over the coming months will be taken up pursuing 6-legged fare, I'll still be on the lookout for new bird species, particularly as the migrants begin to arrive!<br />

I was quite pleased with the footage:<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hRDmzMRr4_M" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
It looks like a dog Fox and vixen spent much of the night, on and off, enjoying the morsels I had put out. I'm pretty sure that the stockier-looking, broad-faced individual is a male, and the other one is certainly a vixen, as evidenced by the way in which she leaves her calling card towards the end of the clip. There's a bit of dominant behaviour witnessed right at the beginning of the sequence and the male is also seen drinking from the pool. At one point a Badger trundles by, but doesn't show too much interest in the food that is left. It certainly needs a tail trim!<br />
<br />

The first Sweet Violets are now flowering in various places, including the roadside at Afton Marsh, the only one of our Violet species that is scented, hence the Latin name, <i>Viola odorata</i>. The Reader's Digest field guide to wild flowers points out what I think is the most fascinating piece of information about this flower:<br />
'In less sanitary days the flowers were strewn on the floors of cottages and churches to sweeten the air and conceal the musty smell of damp - even though the scent of Sweet Violet is lost almost as soon as it is detected. It was, indeed, this very property that made it so effective: the flower produces with the scent a substance called ionine, which quickly dulls the sense of smell, so that not only does the scent of Violets vanish, but other odours too. This can be proved by sniffing the flower until the scent is lost, then holding it away for a moment before sniffing again: the scent will return until the ionine does its job once more.'<br />
<br />
This afternoon I disturbed a Woodcock on the reserve, the first one I've seen here.Steve Plummerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17921129234327237218noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040601373647656293.post-61213162606151978922015-02-27T20:37:00.000+00:002015-02-27T20:37:17.791+00:00February HoverfliesI've seen 3 Hoverfly species enjoying the sunshine over the last few weeks, including all 3 earlier today:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rIhm_-YpPNU/VPDSVQzfpLI/AAAAAAAAd9Y/OaIcQi7GkSo/s1600/S1300193.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rIhm_-YpPNU/VPDSVQzfpLI/AAAAAAAAd9Y/OaIcQi7GkSo/s1600/S1300193.JPG" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
Episyrphus balteatus is one of the few hoverfly species with a common English name: the 'Marmalade Hoverfly'. It is the only species with those double black & orange bands reaching across the abdomen. Many of the individuals at this time of year are relatively dark. This is probably our most common hoverfly.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A_RnlJ7XQwE/VPDS7e8DJjI/AAAAAAAAd9g/7WsN7F0tOP0/s1600/S1300118.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A_RnlJ7XQwE/VPDS7e8DJjI/AAAAAAAAd9g/7WsN7F0tOP0/s1600/S1300118.JPG" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
The hoverfly below and to the right of the Episyrphus balteatus on this photo is Meliscaeva auricollis. I have seen good numbers of these in mild weather over the last few weeks. Notice how the orange and black abdominal markings give an appearance of black 'triangles' from above.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-64MGCJFJ73o/VPDTnoszIKI/AAAAAAAAd9o/lv-bhI3XiT8/s1600/S1300210.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-64MGCJFJ73o/VPDTnoszIKI/AAAAAAAAd9o/lv-bhI3XiT8/s1600/S1300210.JPG" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
Meliscaeva auricollis can also appear very dark at this time of year, like this individual here.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ClbQ5pjNs1Q/VPDT5kQRRUI/AAAAAAAAd9w/-tnIxUemtdg/s1600/S1300211.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ClbQ5pjNs1Q/VPDT5kQRRUI/AAAAAAAAd9w/-tnIxUemtdg/s1600/S1300211.JPG" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
This is the bee mimic, Eristalis tenax. There is also a very similar species around at this time of year: Eristalis pertinax. Eristalis pertinax differs from this species with its pale front and mid-feet/tarsi, and a pale patch on the hind tibia together with other subtle differences.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YwahZYrVKgo/VPDUf1JV5LI/AAAAAAAAd94/Ylbo5e0bzC0/s1600/S1300177.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YwahZYrVKgo/VPDUf1JV5LI/AAAAAAAAd94/Ylbo5e0bzC0/s1600/S1300177.JPG" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
This is another Eristalis tenax that was enjoying the sunshine whilst perched on the discarded yellow safety vest of a person working on the reserve. You can just about make out the relatively broad facial stripe from this view (narrower on E. pertinax).<br />

The best public place to see Red Squirrels regularly on the West Wight is probably the nut feeder at the Model Railway Exhibition in the corner of Fort Victoria where they are regular visitors. I have had 4 there at one time in the past. I stopped by on the way home from a meeting this morning and, sure enough, this Red Squirrel was feeding on the nuts, hanging down from the branch above by its back feet. It then ran along the fence next to where I was seated in my car 'hide' and retrieved a hazelnut from where it had been hidden amongst the thick ivy on top of a fence-post - fascinating. It's interesting that, even with a regular supply of peanuts on tap, it still prefers 'one that I prepared earlier'! You can see the video here:<br />

With water pouring through on the ebbing tide it took a bit of determination but, with a run up, they got there in the end!<br />

<br />
On the flooded Rofford Marsh field there were 36 Shovelers (20 males & 16 females). This photo was taken by one visitor recently showing the striking green head and red-brown chestnut flank of the male, together with the unique beak which gives it its name.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I've been trying to get some decent video, or even a photo, of these fascinating birds but it's not easy as they don't spend a lot of time close to the footpath. The reason I'd like to get some video is to show their feeding action, spinning in tight circles as they sift the water through a large sieve on the sides of the bill. It really is the avian equivalent of the baleen whale! Hopefully we'll get some better photos, and some video, soon!Steve Plummerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17921129234327237218noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040601373647656293.post-40369415679448405922015-02-23T10:35:00.002+00:002015-02-23T10:43:46.846+00:00Duck of the Day: Wigeon.The Wigeon is one of our most beautiful ducks. Here's a bit of video of a small group feeding taken a few days ago:<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-iIC1gsSSUk" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
You always know they're around when you hear their distinctive and cheerful whistle. Look at those drakes with their red-chestnut head and the striking yellow flash running from the base of the beak to the top of the head. And then there are those wonderful grey, black & white colours over the rest of the body that sets it apart. I think that the female is a real beauty, too. I like the description of females and immatures as being the colour of autumn leaves: brown, orange and frosty white.<br />
<br />
Like the Teal, our relatively small breeding population is joined by droves of winter tourists from places like Iceland, Scandinavia and Arctic Russia enjoying our relatively mild winter conditions!<br />
<br />
And now for something completely different:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This gaudy Yellow-brain Fungus (Tremella mesenterica) is growing on a Gorse bush at Golden Hill Country Park. This older specimen doesn't look too much like a brain, but I can imagine it as 'Witche's Butter', it's other colloquial name!<br />

Over the last few days I've been giving the garage a springclean. Again and again I came across evidence of the presence of Mice: seed spilling out of holes in their bags and various chewed items including a vileda mop, a beach tent casing and some jelly shoes! Yesterday this was all confirmed when I came across a nest, constructed primarily out of vileda mop, behind some wooden panels. Overnight I put down a couple of Longworth traps.....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
One had been tripped this morning and, when I emptied it, I found that the culprit had been - as expected - a Wood Mouse, or Long-tailed Fieldmouse as it is sometimes called, one of our commenest small rodents. This video footage gives a close-up of this wonderful little animal. As you can see, I let it find its own way out of the aquarium!<br />

<br />

<br />
For such a small bird this species has real pizzazz, the male sporting those wonderful reddish-brown colours on the head, with yellow borders and a splodge of green! Then there's that distinctive triangular yellow patch at the rear. Between the two there's a wonderful example of vermiculation (from the Latin for 'worm') with all of those delicate 'squiggly' lines running down the flanks. Brilliant!!<br />
<br />
The Teal is a dabbling duck that needs shallow water to feed, like this one, on the weed just below the surface. This is the reason why large numbers of Teal head to our relatively mild Gulf Stream-affected shores in the winter from as far away as Scandinavia, and even north-west Siberia!<br />
<br />
Just how mild it is at the moment was emphasized this afternoon with the arrival of a couple of Toads slowly making their way across the front lawn and road to some local pool to breed.<br />

I love those eyes.....giving them a reputation in times past of having the 'evil eye'. Look at that wonderful red-gold colour of the iris with the darker markings. This was no doubt the reason for the ancient stories of a mysterious 'golden pebble' with miraculous powers found in the Toad's skull<br />

The harm caused by the 'evil eye' may be fanciful, but the glands in the skin can certainly do you a bit of damage with several toxins including powerful hallucinogens, which is why it's a good idea to have a swill under the tap after handling them!Steve Plummerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17921129234327237218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040601373647656293.post-14802693446011944382015-02-18T17:07:00.002+00:002015-02-18T17:08:56.089+00:00Western Yar birdsThe last few mornings have been absolutely glorious with sunshine bathing everything in a soft light first thing. Yesterday morning I came across this Peregrine Falcon perched on the branches of the large dead branch opposite the Mill Copse pool:<br />

<br />
It's a shame that the photo is so poor at that distance. I watched it through the 'scope for a good half hour or so as it preened and watched the various goings-on of the Estuary. At one point an early morning kayaker passed within metres but the Peregrine just sat and watched. It was still there when I left to go back home and get on with some work!<br />
<br />
Paul Swain has been out and about, too, and has taken these photos in the last week or so:<br />

A great photo of an Oystercatcher in flight - I regularly count 3 on the Estuary, but I'm sure that there must be 4!<br />

<br />
And this is one of my favourite birds: the Turnstone. These are very confiding birds that often allow you to sit or stand right next to where they are feeding.<br />
<br />
Finally....another poor photo from me! Great Crested Grebes are regularly seen offshore during the winter, but they're usually too far out to see well without binoculars or a 'scope. This one was fishing quite close to Norton Spit first thing yesterday:<br />

<br />

<br />
We have about 130 or so Black-tailed Godwits that spend the winter with us before heading back to Iceland to breed. 'Godwit' comes from the Anglo-Saxon '<i>god wiht</i>' meaning 'good creature', which probably refers to their popularity on the dinner plate! A few years ago I filmed these birds feeding from the Freshwater Causeway:<br />

I love the way in which they use their bills like pneumatic drills. It's recently been discovered that another wader that feeds in a similar way - the Knot - builds up a 3D image of what is below the mud by using the pressure waves generated by this technique, which bounce off solid objects like crustaceans and shells. I suspect the same is possibly true of the Godwit!Steve Plummerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17921129234327237218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040601373647656293.post-43463655776952627792015-02-12T13:05:00.000+00:002015-02-12T13:08:18.153+00:00Busy times at a local settLast night I left the Trailcam out at a local sett for the first time this year, and I was really pleased with all of the things going on in the footage.<br />
<br />
Several Badgers turn up, enjoying the nuts and seed that I had put out. One enjoys a good scratch, and the camera also catches some brief mutual grooming. There's also a short section featuring one of the Badgers backing up the steep hill to the sett dragging along a bundle of dry grass to act as bedding. A Brown Rat appears but scurries away, probably because of the presence of a very healthy looking Red Fox. The Badger in the last section, though, does not look quite so good, being unable to put any weight on what is obviously a very tender front left paw. I think that it's one of last year's cubs.<br />

Paul Swain has been out and about. I love this photo of one of the Little Grebes, or Dabchicks, in the Yarmouth Mill area. On a good day during the winter you can spot 20-30 of these fascinating little birds on the Estuary. If you hear what you think is a little horse whinnying in the background, chances are that this bird is what you're actually hearing!<br />

If you want to get a good idea of what birds are around at the moment, you can go to the British Trust for Ornithology's <a href="http://blx1.bto.org/birdtrack/main/data-home.jsp">Bird Track</a> website where you can find the West Wight on the map and then see lists of what local birders are recording. You can even sign up and enter your own sightings!Steve Plummerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17921129234327237218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040601373647656293.post-22016438410688476092015-02-04T23:32:00.001+00:002015-02-04T23:32:36.306+00:00WILD WEST RELAUNCH!!<br />

<br />
Having focused most of my energies on various wildlife Facebook Groups over the past year, I'm really excited to be able to announce the re-launch of this Blog following discussions with people representing the <a href="http://www.yarmouthtowncouncil.co.uk/yarmouth-tc/Default.aspx">Yarmouth Town Council</a> and <a href="http://www.shalfleetiow.org.uk/">Shalfleet Parish Council</a>.<br />
<br />
These two local Councils want to be proactive in highlighting the wonderful flora and fauna that we are privileged to experience here on the West Wight.<br />
<br />
One way of doing that will be by a link to this Blog and, over the coming months, the observations of myself and others will be shared here for the benefit of everyone. If you live, work or walk on the West Wight and have any interesting observations or photos to share, then please do get in touch with me via my e-mail address.<br />

<br />
We will be looking to announce further activities as part of this initiative in due course. So, the Trail Camera will be set out again very soon to see what the local Badgers are up to, the small mammal traps and moth traps will be readied for the new season, I'll be buying some fresh batteries for the Bat Detector....and I can't wait to get the net out to see what special insects are going to turn up in 2015!<br />

This Blog is accessible to anyone with a computer and, for those of you on Facebook, there is a West Wight Wild Group that covers the same area. We're looking forward to learning so much more about the wildlife of this special place and hope you'll be a part of it!Steve Plummerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17921129234327237218noreply@blogger.com2
