Quite a good haul on Thursday night, probably helped by a calm night with a minimum temperature of 13C.
41 moths in total of 25 identified species (plus 3 unidentified pugs). One of these, Little Thorn, was a new moth for me and 11 others were new for the year -
Alder
Moth, Brimstone Moth, Agonopterix arenella, Brown Silver-line, Coronet, Little
Thorn, May Highflyer, Orange Footman, Sallow Kitten, Scorched Wing, Small Angle
Shades and Yellow-barred Brindle.

Ooooops - can you edit a 'published' post? The Sallow Kitten was in fact an Alder Kitten - fingers (on keyboard) and brain aren't always in synch!!
ReplyDeleteNice catch Howard, that's much better than anything I've been getting - though I did have Nematopogon swammerdamella new for the garden last night.
ReplyDeleteThanks George. It's about time things started picking-up! Also had a very nice Common Swift land on the window earlier this evening - another first for the year.
