My interest was sparked in 2009 by my then 4 year old son, Louie. He and his sister Keely help me in the mornings, photographing and releasing the contents of this Bedfordshire trap. I hope you enjoy the Blog!Broom Birderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09474943033132623669noreply@blogger.comBlogger617125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886179380130331778.post-29265757549668346982023-08-27T14:13:00.000+00:002023-08-28T07:08:48.740+00:00Year Review 2022<p>In <b>2022</b>, I recorded <b>551</b> garden species, beating last year's record-breaking total by five, something I didn't think would be achievable. There were <b>292</b> Macros (the same as <b>2021</b>) and <b>259</b> Micros, the most I've ever recorded! As always, a big thanks to Andy and Melissa Banthorpe for their continued hard work with VC30 moths, especially for all the Gen dets.</p><p>Recording days/Trap nights: <b>226</b> (<b>+4</b> on<b> 2021</b>)</p><p>Records:<b> 5795</b> (-<b>608</b> on <b>2021</b>)</p><p>The year ended with an all time garden total of <b>876 </b>species. (<b>411</b> Macro, <b>465</b> Micro)</p><p>The table below shows the most productive month for species caught was July. By far the least was January. There were just six blank nights recorded, two in January and February and one in November and December.

I would like to cite lack of time due to football and personal injury as the main reason for the lack of performance.<br />
On 13th December <b>2018</b> I snapped my Anterior Cruciate Ligament (<b>ACL</b>) in my left knee whilst conducting a demonstration at football training and didn't manage to get in to have it operated on until <b>17th May</b>. Clearly, the lack of mobility hampered my progress with regards to the emptying of traps etc. But at least now it balanced the <b>ACL</b> on the right knee that I snapped in <b>2009</b>!<br />
On the plus side, I managed to coach two football teams in <b>2018-19</b> season and passed my <b>UEFA B</b> <b>License</b> in early May! Hopefully <b>2020</b> is going to be far less eventful.<br />
<br />
In <b>2019</b>, I recorded a total of<b> 481</b> species. There were <b>265</b> Macros, only the<b> 6th</b> best in the last ten years and<b> 216</b> Micros, this was the <b>4th </b>best.<br />
But undoubtedly, the biggest milestone this year was topping <b>800</b> species for the garden, despite 'throwing out' the 3 <b>Small Ermine</b> species (<i><b>padella/malinellus/cagnagella</b></i>) and replacing them with <i>Yponomeuta agg</i>. I also removed my 'unsafe' record of <b>Dark Twin-spot Carpet</b>, a species that can only be reliably identified via Gen det.<br />
<br />
The year ended with an all time garden total of <b>392</b> Macros and<b> 412</b> Micros.<br />

There were <b>12 </b>new species recorded and one reclassified. <i>Ephestia woodiella</i> is now an option on my updated version of Mapmate. I have previously been recording this as<i> E. unicolorella</i> and before this, <i>E. parasitella</i> with the foot note '<i>Ephestia agg.</i>'. Either way, the group requires gen dets, so 2019 was the first year I had a sample checked. I would like to thank Andy Banthorpe (AMB) for his assistance with Gen dets.<br />

<br />
There was only <b>3</b> species added this year, all of which were scarce. I can only speculate as to how long it will take to achieve the dizzy heights of<b> 400 </b>macro species for the garden. But it seems more likely to be years rather than months!<br />

For some time I have suspected their inaccuracy and I wasn't wrong!<br />
In my garden lists, it turned out that I had omitted three Macros and<b> 27</b> Micros! There are still a few outstanding gen dets for <b>2017</b>. But, at the time of writing this, my life totals are <b>382</b> Macros and<b> 377</b> Micros, so a healthy total of <b>759 </b>species; not bad considering I only started recording in <b>2009</b>.<br />
<br />
I have also switched my life lists from the limited Blogger pages to externally linked Google Sheets (tabs in the right hand column). I should have done this years ago, as it gives far more information and is much easier to edit. I'm glad I did it, but it was a bit of a saga, mainly due to the huge changes that have taken place in recent years. Taxonomic order, names and the switch from <b>Bradley/Fletcher</b> to the '<b>ABH 2013 Checklist</b>' codes have certainly caused headaches!<br />
<br />
In <b>2017</b>, I recorded<b> 481</b> species (<b>475</b> Macro, <b>206</b> Micro) from <b>5518</b> records on <b>200</b> trap nights, down from <b>220 </b>trap nights last year. June was my most productive month, with<b> 262</b> species caught from<b> 24</b> dates. Unsurprisingly, January was the least productive, with just three species from two dates.<br />

Just one post in 2016, way back in March!<br />
I had, however, carried on mothing throughout the year adding <b>6763</b> records and<b> 40</b> more species to the garden list which now totals <b>714</b> species (373 Macro, 341 Micro)<br />
I trapped less often than previous years, with only <b>220</b> trap nights. But did use more than one trap for the majority of these. July was my most productive month, recording<b> 313</b> species from<b> 27 </b>days. February was my least productive, trapping on just two nights and recording ten species.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">The top ten most abundant species of the year were as follows-</span></b><br />

<br />
It is no surprise that <b> </b><i><b>Acentria ephemerella</b> </i>is the most abundant. On some nights it reaches near plague proportions,<b> c1000</b> were recorded on 27th July alone.<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-size: large;">Micros</span></u></b><br />
<br />
This year I made a bit more of an effort with micros and logged a record number of species. I kept a few more for gen detting and paid more attention to collecting, photographing and identifying. This along with Louie's sweep netting managed to add <b>28</b> new species to the garden list.<b> 230 </b>species were recorded, beating my previous best of<b> 218</b> in <b>2013</b>.<br />

So after a record breaking January in the garden, recording 12 species by the end of the month (double my previous best). It seemed like there was nothing going to get in the way of an equally impressive February. But the weather did finally turn and after just two trap nights and only a handful in March so far. The early head start has now been pegged back and I am nine species down on my best ever on the same date (2014).<br />
As I type the temperatures are still slightly below average.<br />

..........as the wacky Winter weather continues, there seems to be no end to the unusual records. As well as record breaking early emergence, there seems to be evidence of some migrant activity too. I also have a query on a possible <i>Acleris kochiella </i>and have included a species list at the bottom of this post. </div>

Has been retained, but looks like a good candidate. The Winter flight of this species always looks grey compared to the Summer flight, which is often extremely pale with prominent markings. If it does turn out to be one, it will be new for the garden and only the 2nd I have ever seen. <b><span style="color: yellow;">Confirmed as A. kochiella, Gen Det AM Banthorpe</span></b></div>

Usually I only trap on favourable nights in Winter. So if its too cold or too windy, I've tended not to bother. Unfortunately, I haven't got 'blanks' recorded for the first years of my records. A bit of a blunder really, though as said, this wouldn't account for many if any nights in some years, so not as scientific as I would have liked. But I suppose you can get the gist of it.<br />
Clearly the high yields are down to high temperatures at night. This has led to more than a few surprises up and down the country, especially on the South coast. December isn't usually considered to be a highlight in migrant terms. But the season hasn't really tailed off since October. I for one will keep the traps burning until the end of the year as anything seems possible.<br />

This was the surprise of the year, caught 18th Decmber. Though I missed out on getting my first 'New for VC' macro moth by a matter of 20 hours as one was caught in Biggleswade (17th December)- by my father!<br />
Incredibly, this species has only been know in the UK since 2011 and I actually had to renew my Mapmate licence to update my checklist as it didn't exist!<br />
The only other records come from a small colony in Kent and a single record in Suffolk. Easily the rarest moth I've ever caught and the furthest North the species has ever been recorded in Britain!<br />

.........Though should be called the 'Christmas Usher' this year. After an early record from The Lodge, Sandy on 17th, I was still very surprised to catch this on 21st December. My previous earliest record was 18th January!<br />

Help needed!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's about this time of year that my attention turns to leaf mines. The majority of species mine leaves between September and October. Generally I compile a list of around 20 species, but even though the garden has changed very little as far as hosts are concerned, the species list varies quite considerable and has never been the same from one year to another. Once again I have added new species to the garden list. The top two images are the newbies and below those are are few that I'm not sure about.........</div>
