Three nights of mothing now winter.

Ran my Robinson MV and Twin actinic Skinner on all three nights taking 9, 16 and 7 species showing species lingering from autumn and winter species. Like Neil I have yet to take a Sprawler. It is not recorded in my 10km square but Matthew has taken it so I am hopeful. We have a lot of Dark Sword-grass here which we believe is resident at least part of the year. 8 on the 17th being commonest species after the December moth. Third most abundant was Yellow-line Quaker, then Angle Shades. Also taken Brick, Chestnut, Satellite, Silver Y, Red-green Carpet, Spruce Carpet, Grey Pine Carpet, Mottled Umber, Winter, November, Feathered Thorn, Blastobasis lacticolella, Epiphyas pastvitanna and Acleris sparsana.
