Last of August

Things quietening down; a lot of very worn moths in the garden MV. New last night was clouded buff and a very pretty Ethmia bipunctella – which vindicates having planted lots of bugloss over the past few years.

It’s been a very good month. Reading people’s moth blogs has been exciting and encouraging, but it seems not very many people are contributing (less than last year?). Anyway, special thanks and commendation to all those who have taken the trouble and shared their experiences – especially to Matthew, Neil and Keith. I’ve really enjoyed their enthusiastic and instructive blogs over the summer.

    Thanks, Tony! That’s an exceptionally late Clouded Buff!

    The clouded buff was very very worn (ie not second generation). More grey than yellow!
    In fact, most moths are looking a bit dishevelled. The main ‘freshly emerged’ species with me over the past three or four days has been feathered gothic (5 last night – more than I’ve ever seen here before).

    Once again, well done, and thanks.
