Stoke Common and Black Park (both heathland sites) have records but there had been no prior sightings in the Bernwood area until DM's female last year. It beats me how moths which exist at such low levels as this (Oak Eggar is another) ever manage to meet up!Dave Wiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533795070964851106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789886813706673673.post-26370631092742861162016-05-24T09:23:23.877+01:002016-05-24T09:23:23.877+01:00oh dear, another "common moth" of my you...oh dear, another "common moth" of my youth on the wane.
