Still hoping one day to see the Cliff Plume
Agdistis meridionalis so I put a 15w actinic on the cliff, in spite of being clear with a 3/4 moon. It was calm though only 8 degrees in the morning. There were 42 moths of 18 species but no plumes. Best for me was a late (and worn)
Aethes francillana, a coastal species,
along with 3 Mullein Wave.

The best way to see them I've found is to crawl around on the cliffs - give enough time and you should disturb a few. Search the the scrawny-looking Rock Sea-lavender patches in sheltered micro-habitats at the most exposed locations.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barry. I'll have another go at Port Eynon and Overton by day.
