Catch 22 set on Stage 1, Northern Stage, Newcastle upon Tyne, 2014

during my visit to the pantanal a group of us went fishing for piranhas. the trip kinda summed up my experience in the pantanal, as whilst the day before a couple of kids had caught a whole school of them, we got bugger all. it was a recurring theme that i kept missing out on spotting cool animals, that everyone else managed to see. this was only the second time i've ever been fishing, the first being back in uruguay last year. despite the absence of piranhas i am pleased to report that i maintained my 100% record by catching this little guy. as i recall he was a snakehead, and yes he was as small as he looks, so i just had time for a quick snap before chucking him back in.

here's the original

Catching up with catches. The prequel..

A flipping huge catch last Monday night, apologies for being a week behind but time seems to run away with me during peak moth season with photos to take, edit and then the list to type up.

This catch was just prior to the previous post about the fantastic night's trapping on the farm.

For my garden this amount of moths was brilliant with loads of new moths for the year list.

Best of all there were two new species for my garden, namely Epiblema costipunctana, a fairly common Tortrix moth that I use to catch on the farm regularly.

The other was Eana incanana, another good species and one i've trapped before on the farm also. Not content with one, I trapped another on Friday night!

Happy mothing everyone!

And I remember she used to

fall down a lot,

That girl was always falling

Again and again.

And I used to sometimes try to

catch her,

But I never even caught her name.

catch of the day at Howth

Re's first catch, boy was he happy when he caught this "big fish" as he says :) I think it must be something about fishing that distorts the size of the fish when it is caught. Something must happen that makes them look bigger to the one that caught them. LOL ;) I am going to try and upload the video of this... it's great!

but never even caugth her name..."
