Going the extra mile

Occasionally I decide to put in extra effort to record difficult to reach places and last night was one such occasion. It took twenty minutes to barrow my equipment, on an overgrown footpath in two loads to a site in Blundeston I had wanted to trap for years as it looked so appealing. The air heavy with the scent of Honeysuckle in a piece of Carr where there is a wooden walkway. And was it all worth it? Not really! 83 species recorded, Best macro was Privet Hawk-moth, first one for me this season. Also seen Maple Prominent. Best micro was Nascia cilialis with three seen, but I’m coming accustomed to seeing this species. There were quite a few moths but not much in variety. Hoards of Aleimma loeflingiana. I left the site at 2.30am, surprised to find a foggy journey home as there was no sign of mist at my marsh side location.
