Ruddy Carpet!

Yes, everyone likes it when they get a new carpet! And what a stunner- not too many records in Bedfordshire either for this Nb species...... Apart from this, not too much to talk about as the trap was relatively empty. Not even a Large Nutmeg, which is a good thing I suppose.

    Hi Matt, nice one, are you trying to trump my Royal Mantle from yesterday ? If so I guess you win as that was two miles from my house and not in the garden unfortunately...yet

    Reckon I've got more chance of a White-throated Robin in my garden than one of those!

    Dean- a belter indeed- how's your ear BTW?

    Andy- Beds wise Royal Mantle is a better tick. You could have 'planted' it in your trap, no one would have known.....

    Mark- It's the best moth I've had this year, I too didn't see the W-t Robin. I might have had a chance 20 years ago.......when I lived a few miles away from where it was seen in Hartlepool!
    Oh, well another 20 odd years to wait......

    "how's your ear BTW?" No change, Matt, thanks. Getting seriously fed up now. Ah well, i`ll find out on Wednesday what the outcome is.
