........and back at the Old Vicarage, I've been going all in on trying to catch some more migrant moths following quite a large migrant influx over the south of UK during the last few days. I've had another (or the same) Vagrant Piercer, another Clifden Nonpariel (above), the odd Turnip moth, Silver-Y, a handful of Angle Shades and a few White-points. Also very large numbers of Common Wainscot (200+) and Setaceous Hebrew Characters which may be dispersal related too. Other inland moth recorders have recorded Beautiful Marbled (in Bucks) , Striped Hawkmoths and the usual Rush Veneers and Diamond-back and on the coast there have been lots of Vestals, Delicates, Scarce Bordered Straws, Pearly Underwing, Gems, Olive-tree Pearls, the odd Porter's Rustic, Convolvulus Hawkmoth and Diasemiopsis ramburialis. Fingers crossed the recent south west winds blow a few of these inland here.
