Spring Moths at Hollesley

After the dismal start to the year the slightly milder weather has seen a slow build up of typical spring species. I have been trapping on 7th, 8th, 10th, 11th and 12th with each night better than the last. Tonight looks wet and windy and will be missed and I am then away next week so I wish you all good mothing in the coming milder week. The last few days have seen Hebrew Character, Common Quaker and Agonopterix alstromeriana as the commonest moths. Others are Shoulder Stripe, March, Oak Beauty, Twin-spotted Quaker, Small Quaker, Clouded Drab, Pine Beauty, Grey Shoulder-Knot, Chestnut, Endrosis sarcitrella and an Acleris hastiana which is down for checking as it is small and very schalleriana-like.
