Westcott, Bucks

Last night wasn't as good as I'd hoped it might be, but there was another double-digit count of moths in the garden here from four species:  Double-striped Pug, Common Quaker, Small Quaker & Hebrew Character.

I also took an MV trap into some local oak woodland for a few hours and the results there weren't all that exciting either (280 moths of 17 species).  However, it did at least produce Acleris ferrugana/notana, Engrailed, Twin-spotted Quaker & Red Chestnut which I haven't seen anywhere else yet this year, any of which could be appearing at a trap close to you in the very near future... 

Engrailed, 7th March

Twin-spotted Quaker, 7th March

Red Chestnut, 7th March
