A Blog for moth recorders in Bucks, Berks and Oxon
Seems I may have got an Olive Crescent last night, plus a Silky Wainscot.

Hi Mark,No doubt about the Olive Crescent - a brilliant record! Probably a migrant or a moth dispersing from one of its very few UK sites. The other one isn't Silky Wainscot though and looks more like Small Rufous to me.
thanks Dave. Martin Townsend tells me that it's the first modern VC23 record since 1987.
