Matthew Deans and I set up 4 traps on the site during a warm humid evening with only a slight breeze. Three MV Robinsons were set in our favourite locations in the ride and wet meadow and the heath trap was located in an opening amongst osiers and reeds. The traps were examined the following morning around dawn. The total species count was 120 and whilst there were some exiting catches the number of micros was low. We were not plagued by any wasps and very few underwings.
As on other visits many species were characteristic of the local habitats and location. Four Ethmia quadrillella probably took the top place amongst the highlights other up there were 1 Sandhill Rustic, 2 White-mantled Wainscots, 2 Twin-spotted Wainscots, 4 Brown-veined Wainscots and our first salt-marsh Scrobipalpa which was a good one by way of S samadensis. Our specimen looked like the Orford Ness specimen on the Moths of Suffolk site.
Also off the salt-marsh were Aristotelia brizella and Agdistis bennetii. Cosmopterix lienigiella and Brachmia inornatella still flying. Others of interest were Anacampsis blattariella, Acleris laterana, Metendothenia atropuntana, Golden-rod Pug, Canary-shouldered Thorn and a Crescent.
