June 2013

I've received the results of the dissections of moths collected here over the season from Barry Dickerson, the county recorder. Fourteen new species are added to the garden list taking the total to 791. Lots more are added to the year list which despite a very poor spring now stands at a record 513 species. For once I have reasonable photos of all the newly added moths.

After a series of cold and dry nights a warm and wet one. The second Vestal of the year after one at the beginning of August together with a very fresh looking Silver Y show that there is still the chance of a few migrants turning up.
