Having just read Barry's post re Dotted Chestnut, I had a look on Aderyn to see if my 2013 garden record was there and was surprised to find it wasn't! The only record for ST08 is a 'historic' 1857 record in Llantrisant.
I was new to trapping moths and used to post images on a website called 'Back Garden Moths' for help with identification. The site is no more but I have 2 garden records for Dotted Chestnut, 09 & 12 April 2013 (images below). I only grabbed images of the first one, and as it was so distinctive I obviously didn't make the effort for the second.
Later that year I started submitting records to Dave at SEWBReC, sending spreadsheets of all my records to date but this one doesn't seem to have made it through to Aderyn which is a shame as it would add a modern record to the mix.
Howard, Perhaps you should re-enter the record, with photos too, like Mike on previous post.
ReplyDeleteI'll have a dig in my old files to see why this didn't make it!
ReplyDeleteFound the old records and they have been imported into MapMate. They should appear on Aderyn next week. I think i'd assumed you would put these into SEWBReCORD - my bad!
ReplyDeletehi Dave.
DeleteI started with SEWBReCORD in December 2013 and, having sent you spreadsheets for my moth records up to the end of October 2013, I started entering data from 01 November onwards. Didn't think I'd need to go back and enter the older stuff.
