Having thought the switch to Westerlies would be a problem later in the night quite the opposite! Potential migrants Gem nfg, Radfords FS nfg, P vitrealis, 2 x Silver Y, xylostella & RD Pearl. Another Flounced Chestnut, Shoulder-striped Wainscot(!) & H glaucinalis. 47 of 21.
An update on the two putative Flounced Chestnut this week. Many hours of research later, CMR is happy both are Southern Chestnut. A new species for VC12 but almost guaranteed to be hiding in plain site on heathland elsewhere. A difficult group to say the least, needs work!
@WheatersDave @AlanSalter13 @SwaySteveK @adesturner Turned on just before rain, glad I did, nfg Radfords F Shoulder, first VC records this year, not too surprising!
@JulesA4thJuly Hi Julie, I’m on the edge of East Hampshire, about 25 miles inland. I rarely get migrants on the first night of arrivals but if conditions remain good they often turn up the following night.
Much better night despite the wind. Potential moth of the night for here a putative Flounced Chestnut. First Chestnuts of Autumn, 3 Merveille DJ 4 Black Rustic etc. Potential migrants Clifden NP, Scarce-bordered Straw nfy, HM Hawk-moth, xylostella. 37 of 17.
@clare_taz@WheatersDave Moved my trap a little to catch S Easterly full on, don’t know if it helped. Having said that as usual better moths were outside.
