Littleworth Common, Bucks

Martin Albertini and I made another visit here last night.  Most of the moths were the expected autumn fayre and the hoped-for Neglected Rustic didn't put in an appearance (in fact the only heathland specialist was a single example of Aristotelia ericinella!), but there were still one or two interesting moths.  It was good to get a decent haul of Oak Lutestring (one on the heath and eight in the adjacent woodland), while Lesser Swallow Prominent and a very battered Tree-lichen Beauty were a bit of a surprise.
