Bringsty Common August 14th

Still a steady stream of moth arrivals on nights when I run the trap here. Last night I recorded 54 macro species and 19 micro species. Following on from the Bedstraw Hawk sighting, I'm also seeing signs of migrants here too, although this isn't noted as good spot for seeing them at all. The night before a Dark Sword-grass and last night a number of Silver Y and one Palpita vitrealis. Angle-striped Sallow continue to turn up - 3 last night - and this is easily the best season so far for them. I also recorded one at Wigmore Rolls the other evening. Otherwise a mix of late Summer species, second broods and so on. Yponomeuta rorrella also here again and a Tissue. Peter Hall
