Bringsty Common

Whilst I travelled abroad to meet some of the Worcester group at Wyre last night, I ran the white Robinson in the garden. It was another cold night again, but moth numbers were impressive despite that. I recorded 138 individuals, with Hebrew Character topping the charts at 32, followed by Clouded Drab and Brindled Beauty at 24 each. Had my first Acleris literana. Meanwhile the night before I went to the Brockhampton Estate to try my luck. Very chilly and very quiet with just 58 moths recorded. These included a very early Spruce Carpet and one Plutella xylostella. Peter Hall
