Clancy's Rustic new for VC23 Oxfordshire

Clancy's Rustic Caradrina kadenii this morning in my garden to Robinson MV. Unless anyone has caught one one this year this is the 1st for VC23 Oxfordshire. Also a Clifden Nonpareil, only the 2nd here and Dewick's Plusia. Yesterday 4 Dewick's Plusia and a Scarce Bordered Straw. 

I am also plagued by Box-tree Moth. Numbers have gradually built the last 2-3 years. Last year they peaked in double figures. This July I estimated 100 in one night. Last week 90 in one night. Yesterday morning 150, today 153. 


Anyway, look closely at your Pale Mottled Willows!
