This was our third trip for Matthew and me and again we set up three traps, this time all Robinson MVs. Two in the ride and one in the field. 138 species were identified and with some interest but no great rarities. The pretty Peach Blossom and two Leopard moths. White Satin and Water Ermine that are flying at present. A single Clouded Buff and a Bordered Beauty. Several Garden Tiger moths around and one Cream-spot Tiger which has turned up on all three occasions. We also had the Round-winged Muslin and Dotted Fan-foot and one Grey Arches. To bring the point home that it has an established local population we counted 30 Double Darts. Amongst the micros that were quite low in numbers were Notocelia roborana, Acleris comariana, Cochylidia implicitana, Schreckensteinia festaliella and Coleophora mayrella.
