Bringsty Common November 3rd 2018

I took advantage of the mild night and ran a single trap in the garden in an area sheltered from the stiff breeze.  Apart from plenty of German wasps and a hornet I was rewarded with a total of 14 species.  Sprawler (1), December (2) means that my list for the year is almost completed.  Still plenty of "Novemnals" about with 6 November and 2 Pale November arriving (plus a couple of females) and their octavals were inspected of course.  Commonest moth was Feathered Thorn as to be expected really (7).  Still getting Merveille du Jour (3). Most unusual moth was a second brood Shoulder-striped Wainscot. Sadly no micros. Peter Hall
