New moth for parish records.
Sent from my iPhoneSet the trap in neglected woodland at Westland Green in an area that meant the trap and sheet were visible from the Lane leading to Little Hadham. Consequently, just ran it whilst I was present until 8.15. Well worth the effort with:
Agonopterix heracliana
2 Dotted border
4 March moth ( new for Year)
3 Tortricodes alternella
Small Brindled beauty ( new for parish records)
This takes total moths recorded in the parish to 663 species. Target is 700 by the end of the year.
The garden trap gave:
2 Dotted border
Agonopterix heracliana
Pale Brindled beauty
March moth.
A good night, best of the year but hoping to be out longer tonight as forecast looks promising.
