Fears Unfounded

I expressed my concerns at the SMG venue last Friday evening that the only known site for White-mantled Wainscot in Norfolk just across the river to Carlton Marshes, had been lost due to much of the site having been flailed by the site owner back in June. So I ran the lights there last night with not much confidence that one would turn up. Almost the first moth to come to the sheet trap (well before full darkness) was a White-mantled. So it continues to exist in Norfolk for this year at least.
