Huge numbers of Vestals on the south coast. I had one last night (19th), 10 on 18th and 5 on 17th. Gem turning up too and a first for me last night by way of a Cosmopolitan. All the usuals have been around but low on the Bordered Straw this year compared to last year’s bumper crop. Delicate and Scarce Bordered Straw have been abundant. As yet I don’t have a Small Marbled for my site. I noticed that last nights catch caught a lot of rather battered looking native autumnal species. We have a spell of even windier weather coming up so I think they may be off the list in a week or so and move on to Mottled Umbers etc. Still time for more immigrants though.

Singles of Vestal, Silver Y, Diamond back and Crocidosema plebejana here. Flushed another Vestal today as well. Small marbled has a habit of turning up inland, Paul has had it at Woolpit. Matthew has taken it recently too.
Hopefully there will be more migrants to come although it is due to get windy over the weekend.
