Been trapping regularly in Sonning lately and like several others in the 3 counties, I've caught a couple of wonderfully fresh Clifden Nonpareils - so I'm pretty sure that they are now breeding locally - and also more Brindled Greens and Cypress Pugs than I can remember seeing in 25 years of trapping here. Recent highlights though have included Sallow ab flavescens and the melanic form of Box Moth - neither of which I have seen before.
