Pug Surprise

Having just returned from a succesfull trip to Scotland I was a feeling a little mothed out but, with the prospect of a warm night ahead, I decided to put my trap out and see what was “flying tonight”. In hindsight, this turned out to be a smart move. Getting up early enough to beat the local Blackbird to the contents I recorded some 30 species, the pick of which was a superb Netted Pug. It’s been almost three years to the day since I last saw this species here.

Also of note were singles of Buttoned Snout, Light Brocade, Pale Tussock and Oak Hook-tip. Things were rounded off when a calling male Cuckoo flew low over the garden :-)
