Ivy blossom at Blakenham (Part 2)

Matthew & I spent a couple of hours yesterday evening checking the ivy and blackberries bushes at Little Blakenham again. I’ d say that it wasn’t quite as productive as Saturday night but we still managed to record an interesting mix of species: E. monodactyla, M. weaverella,  E. postvittana, Rush Veneer (1), Pale-lemon Sallow (1 male), Pink-barred & Barred Sallow, Large & Lesser Yellow Underwing, Square-spot Rustic, L-Album Wainscot, Chestnut, Brick, Red-line Quaker, Beaded Chestnut, Lunar Underwing, Brown-spot Pinion, Brick, Angle Shades, Dark Sword-grass (1), Copper Underwing & Snout.

The DSG and Rush Veneer were a surprise find. Just a shame we couldn’t find any Crimson Speckled!

    Glad to hear that the challenge is being taken forward. Envious of the Blakenham sallow glut. We have yet to record Beaded Chestnut or Brown-spot Pinion (this year or last) in Stutton. We do get regular Dark Sword-grass mind. Be over-joyed to get an MdJ.

    Nice to see you both saw another Pale-lemon sallow, certainly seems to be a good site now to see that species. Did you find any caterpillars at all after we saw good numbers on the previous search?
