Catch included: Light Emerald, Brimstone, Common Marbled Carpet, Red-green Carpet, Autumnal Moth, Light Brown Apple Moth, Black Rustic, Blair's Shoulder-knot, Red-line Quaker and Large Yellow Underwing.
One I'm unsure about was this reddish brown smallish looking moth. I was thinking a rather poorly marked/worn Gem?
I think that might be a female Gem, though it does look very plain. If so, it's a good record as there have been few migrants reported recently despite the warm southerlies.

ReplyDeleteThanks George. It was my first thought and after going through online images of the Gem's, there are some which look very simmilar.
ReplyDeleteStill a couple of decent weather days ahead so best of luck to all.
Cheers.
On second thoughts (and I only thought of this because I have one in my garden trap this morning) - could it be a plain Pine Carpet?
ReplyDeleteI can see the similarity of the Pine Carpet. Perhaps if you posted an image of your pine carpet it may help?
ReplyDeleteThe wing shape looks different to me. I think it needs a more thorough viewing than just my old eyes.
