12/04/2025: LED trap; Big Covert, Maeshafn, Denbighshire.
The first overcast night for some time brought out an attractive selection of spring moths – none that I had not recorded previously in Big Covert, but several too attractive to pass over.
Tapped out onto a tree trunk this Streamer was initially in a head-up position, but when I returned to it a little later it had rearranged itself into what previous encounters have led me to believe is its normal resting position. In the Field Guide (Waring & Townsend) it is described as ‘occasionally found on fences by day’ so perhaps someone can confirm whether ‘found’ rather than ‘trapped-and-released’ individuals are head down. (Why fences and not trees or other structures I have no idea.)

Streamers is built as a participative public sculpture made out of recycled loudspeakers, tube radios, hifi furniture and modern interactive media. SPEAKERS SCULPTURES are interactive sound sculptures by Berlin-based Franco-American artist Benoît Maubrey. They are conceived on site and reflect their local environment and are constructed from up to 3000 recycled loudspeakers (all connected). The sculptures can function both as a mobile “Speakers Corner“ — a “hotspot“ for local participation and self-expression but also as a forum for small events and concerts.

The Streamer-tailed hummingbird was far more intent on ensuring no interlopers came to feed in his tree, than avoiding the pesky photographer below him.

North Antrim - April 2026. This species appears to be much more common in the midlands of Ireland based on my visit there last week. I normally only get one or two a year locally.
My daughter made a rainbow streamer at her rainbows group this week so today we took it out to play with it. Not long after I took this photo she slipped over and it broke, but I think she had fun in the meantime :-)
Heading south from Scotland via Manchester, our travel and timing logistics meant that we were sadly not able to say hello to our favourite YouTube aircraft streamers i.e. Nick and his 16-year old son Tom of Blue Sky Live Aviation.
However, it would have been rude not to say howdy to "flght" who have several of the evening streaming slots at Manchester Airport. If you are not aware of the phenomenon, in this and the photo below you can see the equipment they use to broadcast live. It is far removed from the BBC outside-broadcast teams but the results are usually very professional with each crew putting their own spin on things. Most streamers broadcast live for between 4 and 7 hours, including Nick and Tom who have the Sunday afternoon slot.
The toilet tissue streamers are all biodegradable and are just a festive touch. Only one krewe of tiny teddies is allowed to toss toilet tissue to the crowds! At the next rain, it will all be gone, so they enjoy it for now, along with all the beads caught up in the trees!
Not really information design, but it was a fun printable form that translated well into something fun you can play with. Check out the original blog post for more info.
