Early March at Bawdsey Hall

I operated two traps at Bawdsey Hall last night having had a break for a week due to cooler nights.

The species list was much the same with Agonopterix heracliana, March Moth, Dotted Border, Oak Beauty, Chestnut, Satellite, Early Grey, Common Quaker, Hebrew Character and Clouded Drab.

March Moth was by far the commonest species recorded and has taken over from Pale-brindled Beauty – none of which were obtained last night.

I have yet to see Diurnea fagella, Red Chestnut or any of the other quaker species.

    I had my first D. flagella this evening Matthew. Also first Oak Beauty but numbers were well down from what I got on Tuesday evening with just 25 moths of 8 species probably because of clear sky and strong breeze. Still not seen a Hebrew Character
