More new moths
A god selection of moths with clouded brindle, riband wave, dark arches, mottled beauty, flame and blood vein all new for the year. also, tawny marbled minor and wormwood pug from late June now confirmed after dissection. Both these new for my parish list. Also, a splendid scorched carpet was roosting near the trap, on lilac leaves and in the trap a few brimstone, tawny marbled carpet, common wainscot, heart and dart, clouded silver, common white wave, straw dot, buff ermine and brown rustic. Not too bad.

About Me
- Jono Forgham
- A primary school teacher for 30 years, I retired from teaching in July 2009 to set up my own science enhancement and communication company. The Primary Works offers science clubs, workshops and staged science shows nationwide. I have always been interested in bird watching since my early years. Apparently my first tick was after inquiring about a chaffinch and then receiving the Observer book of birds. By the age of 9 I had moved on to Tory Peterson's collins guide and was now involved on YOC birding holidays to Northumbria, Essex coast, Slimbridge and Yorkshire. My twitching rule is that I will willingly travel 1km for each gram the bird weighs. However, I have had many rarities just by being in the right place. I have travelled widely throughout Europe and also visited Australia and Sri Lanka. In 2016 I spent time at Portland Bird Obs and two trips to Aviero, Portugal. 2017 found me back in Sri Lanka in Feb/March, then July and back for New Year's Eve celebrations in December. Also returned to The Camargue in May for a 4 day trip. Few plans for 2018, but nothing yet booked apart from a trip to the IOW.
