Warmest day here at Hollesley was 20th with 17 C, 15.6 C at dusk and down to 10.4 C at dawn then continued to fall as the drizzle started to set in. Weather forecasts for the next week doesn’t look good though, strong winds, heavy rain or cold. Take your pick.
Not been away from home as I have been busy on projects whilst the weather lasts so all moths from my garden. General improvement as the period 14th to 20th progressed with 11 species on 2oth. Late winter species have been Pale Brindled Beauty, March, Spring Usher a Tortricodes alternella on 20th and quite a few Early Moth which is unusual for my site as I am normally lucky if I just get one a year. Species out from hibernation have been Ypsolopha ustella, Agonopterix heracliana, A. alstromeriana, Acleris ferrugana, A. cristana and A. logiana for the micros. Satellite, Chestnut and Dark Chestnut for the larger moths. Nothing exceptional but nice to get them in February. No Dotted Border or Small Brindled Beauty yet though.
