Re: Vestals

Further to Darren Seaman's post below, I would have said no reports locally but by co-incidence the chap below was the only thing of interest in last night's garden trap here at Westcott, Bucks.

Vestal, 12th September

As Darren suggests, there was a huge fall of Vestals in East Anglia a couple of weeks ago but in more central counties we haven't, as yet, seen very much of them.  Easterly winds might make a difference and I see that Great Brocade (found in Scotland but those which reach southern England are generally considered to be migrants from northern Europe) is starting to be reported now.
