Moth season commences at Stanny Farm

Having had a break from moth-trapping at Stanny Farm, Iken, in 2013 I am back operating again, on a regular basis, with grateful assistance by my good friend Mr Clive Moore. 

Three 125W MV traps were operated on the night of 8 March with eleven species recorded: Agonopterix alstromeriana and heracliana; March Moth, Dotted Border, Oak Beauty, Early Grey, Clouded Drab, Hebrew Character, Common Quaker (most abundant moth species with 23 noted), Chestnut and Satellite.

This is the first early-season trapping undertaken at this fantastic location due to the very cold springs of 2012 and 2013; so many of these records will be new to the site.
