We’re delighted to see the reintroduction of glowworms at Nosterfield featured in The Guardian today.
With many thanks to independent ecologist Pete Cooper and LUCT's volunteer team for their work on the project.

Out near the Strid at Bolton Abbey today. What a great tree this was. Lots of blister mines (a few of which are now spending the winter in my wood store) and the feeding signs and hole left by Heliozela sericiella the Oak Cutter. #VC64 @BradfordNature

Musotima nitidalis (Marbled Fern) on the sheet next to the trap this morning, Driffield, East Yorkshire. New to the county just a few weeks ago. I believe there have now been at least 7 individuals in Yorkshire including this one.

Diasemiopsis ramburialis was the best of the migrant activity to reach the centre of the country, and our #Yorkshire garden last night. Also, Scarce Bordered Straw, Delicate, Udea ferrugalis, Gem x 3, and others.

Spoladea recurvalis, to light at Skyreholme, Yorkshire on 25/10. Possibly a first for VC64. Paul Millard.

Radford's Flame Shoulder to light, Driffield, East Yorkshire last night. 78/30 moths. With the first for Yorkshire at Spurn earlier this week and another at N Ferriby last night, how many more are in Yorkshire right now? @DoubleKidney @BC_Yorkshire @BritishMoths @MigrantMothUK

Stigmella myrtillella (Bilberry Dot) - There's probably loads of these out there to be found, but it's only the second record for #VC64. The first being in 1883. #Otley #Chevin #moths @BritishMoths @BradfordNature @WildaboutOtley

Palpita vitrealis from my Skelton garden trap last night. The 4th individual here so far this year of this seemingly increasing migrant moth @BC_Yorkshire @savebutterflies @BritishMoths @teesbirds1 @nybirdnews @teeswildlife @MigrantMothUK

Figure of Eight - A moth that just about hangs on locally with an annual record in the Otley area most years. After a gap of 5 years it was my turn. #VC64 #Otley @WildaboutOtley @BradfordNature @BritishMoths

Like buses, not just two Palpita vitrealis but also two Clifden Nonpareil last night.
Not bad for Wakefield

Shocked to find this pristine Radford's Flame Shoulder on the wall by the garden trap this morning. Might've used the F word when I saw it! Could only be the second for Lancs to one caught at Sunderland Point (VC60) at the weekend.

Easington Moths.. so, a first for Yorkshire a couple of days ago, Marbled Fern Musotima nitidalis must have arrived en masse...last night I caught 2 more... amazing! So..a tweet dedicated to this pretty little adventurer 😁 @DoubleKidney @MigrantMothUK @MOTHIDUK @BritishMoths

Easington Moths..2 new migrants for the garden, Four-spotted Footman and Red Sword-grass. Also Olive-tree Pearl and Rusty-dot Pearl. The footman is rare in Yorkshire and Red S-grass do breed but with good migration going on... @DoubleKidney @MOTHIDUK @MigrantMothUK @BritishMoths
