I was however quite pleased with the numbers recorded in my new garden. This was 321 species March through to December.
In answer to your question about still using this blog site. I wasn’t aware that all the activity had transferred to Facebook and no doubt accounts for the reason why it’s gone very quiet on the blog site. I have a Facebook account but never go on it; certain things about it put me off a bit. However, I see that the Suffolk Moths Facebook site can be accessed via the website so I will check out what’s been happening.

]]> Comment on First moth of 2020 – a plume by paulb http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2020/01/02/2020-first-moth-is-a-plume/#comment-2699 paulb Sat, 04 Jan 2020 20:01:53 +0000 http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/?p=8047#comment-2699 Hello Brian

Just seen my first moth of 2020 and it to was a plume … but just of the Common variety (monodactyla) by the toilet block lights at Bawdsey Picnic Site this morning.

Have also been looking at the new website with interest. Others may wish to comment here but I suspect there are a fair few dots still to appear on some maps as Common Marbled Carpet is not a stranger here in Woolpit either but no white square for me yet.

A belated Happy New Year to all.
Paul

I don’t also have a job to hold down but it is taking up such a lot of my time and I have been reducing the amount of moth-ing I do too. Have reached the 46% mark now though. There are quite a lot of suspicious records.

Others have been noted at Minsmere too for the second year running and yes, I am of the opinion that it is currently colonizing Suffolk so may well grace other people’s traps before the end of the autumn!

They are now resident in the county but I have yet to see one. They do seem to be being reported more around the country. Well done!
