Is this the first for the blog this year? Andy Harding recently recorded Raspberry Clearwing at Olney in North Bucks. Second or third record for Bucks, the first was in 2012.
Nice! I've had the HYL lure out in the garden at Westcott two or three times over the past week or so, including for a couple of hours today, but there have been no takers here. Judging by how (slowly) it is spreading westwards, I may have a few more years to wait yet.
I tried for about half an hour on Friday lunchtime outside on of the Coppas PYO near Iver, without joy. The other PYO where I have had the moth before is still closed.
