A bit of warmth and the nightly macro species count immediately jumps from the teens up to the thirties or more, also bringing in two new for garden moths, neither unexpected but still need to be collected for the list all the same...
Shaded Broad-bar - New for garden on 22/7, these are easily disturbed from the grass in the daytime on nearby hillsides like Sharpenhoe Clappers so I was waiting for one to turn up. Two were trapped on 24th.
Small Fan-foot Wave - new for garden on 24/7
Dark Umber - a local species but regular at Wychwood Moths, two on 22nd and four for year so far
Dingy Shears - 24/7, previously recorded only once with two on 3rd July 2011
Small Emerald - another local species that has turned up each year, fifth record 22/7
Burnished Brass - I do like these, a nice change from the brown stuff
Barred Straw - going for a walk
