Royal Mantle

A walk over Galley Hill, Luton this afternoon to get away from the house and the computer for a short while did not produce a vagrant asian robin sp. hopping around the bushes and not many butties either but this rare moth jumped out of the grass in front of me and landed on my fleece. Possibly only the eighth record for VC30, 4 prior to 2000 and 3 in 2010. First for the site.

    Nice, never caught one here. No records in the Kent 2008 report, but the Moth Count map does have a square since 2000 on Thanet.

    Just looked through my Blog, I caught one on 12//7/2009 and forgot to enter it into Map Mate! that's what excitement does when you get old.
