Hot on the heels of Tree-lichen Beauty (which are now appearing in the trap every night even though it has been set in several different locations) come two more new parish records - both trapped at Ali's Pond LNR in Sonning in the last two nights - Scalloped Hook-tip and more surprisingly -Webb's Wainscot - usually found near the coast.
Webb's Wainscot shouldn't really be a surprise these days (and I would suggest no longer warrants its 'Nationally Scarce' status). It is fairly widespread in all three counties, certainly wherever there are decent reed-beds.
