Bringsty Common End of the World
When the sun went red his morning in the sky and the gathering clouds looked really stormy I wondered about the apocalypse. Hurricane due and not a wisper of wind at 9am. How that changed and quickly. I've been running 2 moth ttraps in the garden these past three days. Combined there were 48 species identified with a couple still to do (including Novembers). Some migrant activity with Nomophila noctuella and last night no less than 4 Vestals. There's been interest recently in late emerging species and I had a Small Fan-footed Wave 3 nights ago, then Heart & Dart 2 nights ago and last night a half sized Riband Wave in the trap. No late records broken though (Phyl?) New for the site was a Large Wainscot. Peter Hall

The BBC said the red sun was due to a combination of Sahara dust and smoke from forest fires in Spain and Portugal. It was certainly unusual.
