Highlights were a few species provisionally new to SN80 (an under-recorded square apart from Jenny Colley's trapping at Resolven): Small Purple-barred, Gold Spangle, Sallow Kitten and Ringed China-mark. Other nice moths included Scallop Shell, Scalloped Hook-tip, Slender Brindle, Eucosma campoliliana and Evergestis pallidata.
We caught a couple of Sallows, which is always a mixed blessing - lovely moth but a sign of the passing of summer. Seemed a little strange to catch these on the same night as Clouded-bordered Brindle.

Glad you missed the rain, unfortunately it started at 10PM here.
ReplyDeleteYes we were lucky - some heavy showers as I was driving home.
