Ideal conditions here in the Waveney Valley last night. In 2 hours between 6pm and 8pm, around 130 moths recorded in woodland. The bulk of these were Tortricodes alternella (80) Spring Usher (22) and Pale Brindled Beauty (13). Numbers of March Moth beginning to increase (10) and the first (2) Dotted Border of the season along with a brightly coloured Acleris cristana were additions to the 2017 list. Early moth and Chestnut made up the rest of the catch.
Hoping to respond soon to Neil’s request on 15th January for 2016 results from other areas of the county. I haven’t quite finished updating my records for last year, but will post the results as soon as I do.
