A better shot of this from Mumbles on Wednesday.
It looks like the jet stream is starting to move north
over the weekend, prime those traps......

Cwmbach GMS
Quite a N. Easterly breeze picked up overnight, but with a minimum temperature of 11.60C, the catch was reasonable (for this July, though poor by any other July's standards) twenty seven species, of which eighteen were counted for the GMS.
A hint of migrant activity spiced things up, with singles of Diamond-back Moth and a tatty Silver Y. A Common Rustic agg hinted at things to come, while the highlights for me were Lozotaenia forsterana (1), Evergestis Pallidata (1), my first two Buff Arches of the year and my first Light Arches of the year.

Tutt head, Mumbles today.
Plenty of Rock rose on the head and i'm fairly
confident this is Teleiodes sequax although i have
not seen this species before. Comments.

Rhoose
This one I think is Notocelia roborana? Or, if you look closely, David and Goliath!

Rhoose Point 9/7
47 species last night. New for the garden record were Eucosma campoliliana and Iron Prominent. Putting in a first apperance for the year were Common Footman and Lesser Yellow Underwing.
Also 13 Silver Y and about half a dozen Diamond-back moths suggesting there are migrants about once again.
May pop a couple of photos up later.
