Still Flying High.......03/06

As last night went so well, I decided to put out the 2 garden traps and drop a 12v 15w Actinic trap in some scrub land just North of Peacock's Lake at Broom GPs. The garden traps were once again full.

May Highflyer

I managed a much better picture this time. This is a 2nd record for the garden and lacks the green tinge that the last specimen had. The garden list is as follows-

1. Large Nutmeg- 9 High Count
2. Heart & Dart- 6
3. Rustic Shoulder-knot- 3
4. Common Wainscot- 3
5. Common Pug- 2
6. White Ermine- 2
7. Treble Lines- 2
8. Buff Ermine
9. Buff-Tip
10. Micro?- Another of the same (micro B)
11. Small Magpie- Year tick
12. Vine's Rustic
13. Flame
14. Pale Mottled Willow
15. Elephant Hawk-moth- Garden 1st ever
16. Peppered Moth- 2
17. Privet Hawk-moth- Garden 1st Ever
18. Shears
19. Blood-vein
20. Shuttle-shaped Dart
21. May Highflyer- 2nd record
22. Grey Pine Carpet

Small Magpie

Broom GPs

1. White Ermine- 8 High Count
2. Treble Lines- 4
3. Common Swift- 4 High Count
4. Silver-ground Carpet- 3 High Count
5. Brimstone Moth
6. Rustic Shoulder-knot
7. Cinnabar
8. Light Emerald
9. Straw Dot- Year tick
10. Poplar Hawk-moth- Year tick

This certainly bolstered the Broom list, which was miles behind the others- it's just finding time for other visits!
