Another new site in Stutton

Plugged the actinic in to the garden of another large hall on the south edge of the village last night. At the time, I was thinking “what will be on those large poplars a few metres away?”. Well 38 species of 100 moths were had. Macro highlights were Olive (2), a sparklingly, immaculate Chocolate-tip and five White Satins.Best geometrid were two Red Twin-spot Carpets. The first Flounced Rustic of the autumn was had as well. Micro-wise, I had the poplar-feeding Epinotia nisella (id-ed from the micro-book just now). A single gigantella, and in terms of grass-moths, just 4 tristella echoes other comments of low numbers.
