Ched George had a male Plumed Prominent to his outside light last night. This is quite remarkable because Ched lives in Radnage, near Stokenchurch, so this is in a completely new tetrad and marks the first ever Bucks record from north of the M40 (all our previous sightings have been in a tight cluster to the south of the motorway). Could this smart little moth be on the move? Or maybe we've been overlooking it away from the usual sites!

Well done Ched! Given the amount of Field Maple surrounding us I've always had a faint hope that one might turn up here, unlikely though it is. This raises my expectations by a fraction.
ReplyDeleteWe did look for it some years ago at other sites further north, but without luck
