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!
