Yes good catch Sunday night

I ran my usual two traps at home and also went mobile to the Rendlesham forest. Unfortunately at home the common problem of the trap at the rear garden tripped out the power so most of the early fliers were lost there. Only 16 species in total at home. The Rendlesham forest however provided a very good selection but sorting in the rain during the morning was a slight disadvantage and there were a few drowned moths. 27 species at the forest site. Commonest species were Yellow Horned, Hebrew Character, Small Quaker, Clouded Drab and Brindled Pug. Two Water Carpet were a nice surprise and they were real ones not a flooded carpet!. My first Engrailed this year and my first eriocranids. Both Acleris ferrugana and notana. Also an Acleris literana. I was delighted to see this at a new site but then realised that I was only a kilometer away from its regular site of Staverton Park and in reality the sites are only separated by one field. Caloptilia betulicola without an obvious costal blotch.  A few pics
