June 27th 2010

It was another cracking night for moths which meant I took two hours to clear down Dave’s trap and the ones in his allotment before returning home to clear mine down. Between the three locations I trapped 869 moths of 118 species with this Tawny-barred Angle being a new garden moth for Dave. I had given Bob the day off so grabbed a record shot.

By mid morning it was 25c and rising so not much around accept for a Chiffchaff in full song when I checked on Cock Robin Wood N.R. which is just up the road from me, also 2 Emperor Dragonfly and 3 Speckled Woods. I tried Ashlawn Cutting as well but little change from my last visit.
