Bringsty Common March 30th

 What an amazing day after such a long and cold winter. It stayed warmer into the night than forecast and the moths responded.  22 species and listed in no particular order: Frosted Green (1), Early Thorn (2), Small Quaker (19), Common Quaker (10), Twin-spotted Quaker (1), March (5), Engrailed (1), Shoulder Stripe (2), White-marked (4), Early Grey (2), Water Carpet (2), Oak Beauty (1), Pale Pinion (1), Clouded Drab (3), White-spotted Pug (1), Brindled Beauty (1), Early Tooth-striped (1), Brindled Pug (1), Chestnut (4), Diurnea fagella (1), Acleris literana (1) and 2 Caloptilia yet to be determined. The White-spotted Pug is early, so just to be absolutely certain, I've retained it for a closer loook. Peter Hall
