Cloudy.......19/02
It was very murky outside when I had a look around the trap. All I found was 1 A. heracliana. But while I was out dipping to my knowledge Bedfordshire's 1st Rustic Bunting, the kids were very busy looking around the sheds and fences. They managed to find this little gem low down underneath the trap on part of a log roll. I looked at my records and my 1st one last year was trapped 15th March. I haven't heard of any recent local sightings, so it could be the earliest in the county (VC30) this year.....I will find out.

ReplyDeleteIt did look a bit dry Stewart! Hope the weather improves up North for your Orthosia's......
ReplyDeleteMatt, of all the groups of wildlife, i reckon moths are the most known not to stick to a timetable.
ReplyDeleteDean- Having only been recording for 18 months, I'm already seeing some big differences.
