Bringsty Common

Catches of late have been between 50 and 60 species, but very little of interest. Last night it dropped a bit to 44 species, but the decline is to be expected. I did get one unusual moth and that was a Scorched Wing. Looking back through the Herefordshire records, in 2018 there were 2 early August records indicating a possible second brood attempt, otherwise this moth is over by early July. The 30th August is the latest by some distance and looking in the National Atlas book, may even be the latest for the UK. Peter Hall
