I was a bit disappointed with last night's catch considering how warm the day had been. But a clear sky again meant a limited no. of moths (although it didn't seem to stop the cockchafers arriving - there were about a dozen of them).
List as follows:
Orange Footman 2
Flame Carpet 2
Brimstone
Swallow prominent
Blood-vein (nfy)
Clouded Border (nfy)
May highflyer (nfy)
Poplar Hawk-moth
White Ermine
Muslin Moth 2
Broken-barred Carpet (nfy)
Common White Wave (nfy)
Pale Prominent
Celipha lacunana (nfy)
There was also a carpet which I'm struggling to ID. I think it's probably a faded common carpet but could it possibly be the rare wood carpet? I've asked for comments on www.birdforum.net so I'll probably know soon. Edit: It's just been pointed out that it's a Sharp-angled Carpet... Doh!
Today there was a lovely Pyrausta aurata flying around the mint in our garden. But I couldn't get a photo.
