This and that

Alabonia geofrella

An hour at Hurcott yesterday, spent in the wet woodland, SSSI part of the reserve, produced little but Silver-ground Carpet and Nettle-tap. It was only when I left the special habitat and entered the 'boring' oak woodland that my first sweep of the net captured a nice consolation in the form of Alabonia geofrella.

Grass Rivulet

Despite the cold nights Grass Rivulet was a new moth for the garden here in Halesowen last Saturday.
