Newport Pagnell, Bucks

Only 2 moths recorded at the 125Watt MV lamp left overnight at Linford Lakes Nature Reserve yesterday evening. One was a Pale Brindled Beauty which was no surprise but the second, an Oak Beauty, was.  My earliest record for this moth is 20 February so this one is almost a month early.

There has not been much else to report from Linford Lakes Nature Reserve over the past fortnight.  An Early Moth on the 17th, Pale Brindled Beauty occasionally and the odd Dark Chestnut and Chestnut so the "early" Oak Beauty was a bonus.
