Not much in Longwick
Just one moth last night and one the night before. Last night's was a scarce umber - the night before a winter moth species. I have never seen a Northern so have posted the photo of Thursday nights moth for comment.
I can't tell for sure from that picture, Andrew, but there does seem to be quite a contrast between the colour of the forewings and that of the hindwings so it might perhaps be a candidate for Northern. If you still have the moth it would be worth getting it checked by Peter Hall.

ReplyDeleteThank you - it raised my suspicions. I do still have the moth.
