Moth update

Few new moths on to the macro list: pale November moth, Feathered thorn and Sprawler take the macro list to 252 for the year.
Trap was left on Brick Kiln Hill on Saturday night and took nothing but a garden spider, male common earwig and a slug. Friday night I netted Westland Green and took a November moth agg and Millennium Wood gave up 2 Brick. Friday night the trap was left in the graveyard at the bottom of our garden and, again, empty. Tonight, it will be in a neglected wood for a few hours, being collected at 10.45 as I have a busy day tomorrow.
First Feathered thorn of the year

A male with antennae like this

First Sprawler of 2016. Still struggling with depth of field with my new macro lens.
