Before the recent much colder nights things had started to pick up a little bit, and had this lovely Tawny Pinion to the Didcot garden trap on night of 21st March. Not a moth I see annually so very welcome. Marc Botham, Didcot
Hi Marc, As it happens I've just been looking at what might still appear in my garden before 31st March and I find that Tawny Pinion hasn't put in an appearance prior to that date since 2005, so I suspect that's one I won't get! The garden list is currently up to 44 adult species (27 macros) which is already above the average for the first three months of the year, so I can't complain.
