Both my moths were female so it is very possible that other females spread up from Kent too so may breed. Rest harrow plentiful at some sites on our coast.

Mine arrived on the 6th. It is often the case, that a few days after numbers of an immigrants turn up at Bawdsey, then they turn up at mine and further inland (Neil). The 6th was a particularly good night for moths to move too. The change in wind direction from those predominantly easterly winds to more southerlies along with warm weather has encouraged moth migration to, and within the country.

Quite a few others recorded in Felixstowe too – mostly at Landguard.
