Heath and Reach daytime mothing

A couple of hours looking for dragonflies took me to the west of the county on 19th May and managed to find a few moths amongst the plentiful odonata and butties.

Six species in all, Common Heath, Burnet Companion, Mother Shipton, Cinnabar, Treble-bar and Silver-ground Carpet.


Common Heath (a life tick for me)




Silver-ground Carpet (a handful disturbed from the grass)


Cinnabar (these were everywhere on the site)
