Friday night I trapped in the garden. The only migrant was Scarce Bordered Straw. Total catch was 24 species with Orange Swift, Blood-vein & Yellow Shell adding a bit of colour to the usual late summer/early autumn brown jobs.
Saturday evening I joined the NMG on Yarmouth North Denes beach in the hope of a few migrants. Only 5 migrant species turned up in the 9 traps (Diamond-back, Silver Y, Dark Sword Grass, Scarce Bordered Straw & Pale Mottled Willow) along with another 30+ species. Best of these were 2 micros, – a couple of very late Nyctegretis lineana & a few poss. Agonopterix cnicella off the Sea Holly but awaiting confirmation. Update on this – now confirmed as cnicella by Jon Clifton, second or late brood.
