What do I know from Newport Pagnell?

After spending 10 minutes scraping ice off the car before 0700hrs this morning, I was thinking why did I set traps at Linford Lakes Nature Reserve last night?  When I arrived all was white, it being colder there than where I scraped the car.  153 moths later I knew why.  OK, 136 were Common Quakers, 9 were Clouded Drab, 2 Oak Beauty,2 Hebrew Character and singletons of Dotted Border,  Twin-spotted Quaker, March Moth and Yellow Horned (See below)  The latter was last seen by me on 18 April, 1996.



That is why,  joy abounds and it is only February.

    Just goes to show, the moths are hardier than we are. What an excellent selection!!
