SMG Moth Night – Elveden 15th June

I’m a bit late making this posting.

A rather cool and windy night meant that we retreated into the more sheltered areas of the forest and as dusk fell there were some sightings of Nightjar to keep the birding fraternity entertained :-) . Lights were reasonably active early on but numbers coming to the light dwindled even though the wind had dropped.

I had thirty-three species on my list, a rather poor score for a mid-June moth night. Species of interest included Small Elephant Hawk-moth, Cream Wave, Gold Swift, Lunar Yellow Underwing, Orange Footman, Broom and Grey Pug.
