With SE winds forecast overnight tonight and some cloud moving in, I fully expect a scattering of migrant moths to arrive. I expect that the odd Convolvulus Hawk-moth, Gem, Vestal, Scarce Bordered Straw and maybe a Dewick’s Plusia or Golden Twin-spot may well turn up in the county.
Only 26 species were recorded last night on what was the coldest night of the autumn so far at Bawdsey; but did include Pale Mottled Willow and Bright-line Brown-eye – both new for October.
Good for you, Matthew! I live in hope, and will have two MV traps on tonight!
