April ends in Flames!

This was mainly in the form of a few Flame Shoulder and a Flame Carpet but also the best moth of the evening a Flame Wainscot, only the second time I’ve recorded it in April. Not much was happening until I started to pack the traps away which coincided with the temp. rising and the cool SE breeze dropping off. This encouraged a few moths to take to the wing and the final count of 18 species included Clouded-bordered Brindle & White Ermine which were firsts for the year.
So it’s been a good month with plenty of action.
