in this notably warm and early spring but looks OK from mid-week on. Like others I have been enjoying the recent mothing. So a report here for my home site at Hollesley. The orthosias are still going strong though as some others have found the Small Quaker is poor this year. Powdered Quaker coming in now but not seen a Northern Drab yet this year. Whilst we have early emergers, Dotted Border and March moth are still around. Early emergers here have been Muslin, Shuttle-shaped Dart, Nutmeg, Flame Shoulder, Scorched Carpet, Cinnabar and Phyllonorycter blancardella . Catches of interest have been Agonopterix subpropinquella and a Tissue (bless you!). I have also taken a couple of Dark Sword-grass and a couple of Depressaria chaerophylli which I believe are immigrant. These and Neil’s Blossom Underwing with a further two D. chaerophylli from Paul Kitchener all coincide with the unusual atmospheric weather and Sahara dust.
