I took a pheremone lure, (MOL) to Grafton Wood (the Hereford one) today. In a brief period of sunshine one moth came in, a Pammene giganteana. Quite a distinctive moth when it was fulttering around the trap as it has silvery white hindwings with a black border. This is a particularly dark individual, most have a prominent white horseshoe mark. Peter informs me that this is the first county record since 1988!
Tuesday looks like a much better day weatherwise so I will have another go then, and maybe find a brighter individual.
Not much in my Hereford garden but the Powdered Quakers have started to arrive this week.
