July 3rd and 5th Bradwell

Trapped two nights this week 66 species on the third and 70 on the fifth. Not so bad as my best night on record here has been 92 species.
Eyed Hawk-moth are the most frequent of the Hawks here this season, turning up every trap night since they started. 2 Privet along with Elephant and Lime last night. Water Ermine and Southern Wainscot now regular along with the Ghost moths and White-points. Acleris hastiana on the third.

Cream Bordered Green-Pea, E. pallidata, D. forficella, D. abietella on the 5th. Along with new site records for Broom moth and if memory serves, as I have yet to compile a site list, Varied Coronet. Checked the traps at 01.20 as the rain had just begun, shut down by 2am.  Must get around to doing a site list as been trapping here now since July 2003.
