Last night (14th) produced a fine red-striped male Vestal and five Scarce Bordered Straw amongst the more regular migrants Diamond-back Moth, Rush Veneer, Dark Sword-grass and Silver Y at Bawdsey Hall. A single Delicate was trapped on Saturday night (12th).
Recent resident species of interest have included Streak, Mallow, Grey Pine Carpet, Common Marbled Carpet, Grey and Blair’s Shoulder-knot, Merveille du Jour, Barred and Pink-barred Sallows; Beaded Chestnut, Chestnut, Satellite, Brown-spot Pinion, Green-brindled Crescent and Feathered Ranunculus. Large Wainscots and L-album Wainscots still about in good numbers. Brick and both the Red-line and Yellow-line Quaker are regular and the odd Feathered Thorn. Still not seen any November Moths yet.
A few micros still about with Caloptilia semifascia, Acleris sparsana and Epiphyas postvittana the most regular. On the look out for further specimens of hemidactylella but not seen any.
The coming nights have potential for further immigration with winds emanating from the south.
