I had this moth in my trap in Beenham Berks last night (19th March). Initially I thought that it was an Engrailed, but am now wondering if it could be a Mottled Grey? Any thoughts?
Thanks Dave, I wish that I had paid more attention to it, and taken better pictures, but Mottled Grey is new for me and wasn't on my radar. It wasn't until I looked at it again on the computer that I began to wonder.
It looks like Mottled Grey to me, Derek. I'm not sure what its status is in Berkshire but in Bucks this is certainly a rare species nowadays.

ReplyDeleteDerek, this will be the 24th record for Berkshire ever, and the first since 2012 - excellent!
ReplyDeleteGood to Hear! Thanks
