Not much happened during the month until the last week, with the year list steadily progressing with the usual suspects but not much of real note. Thankfully numbers and variety picked up in the last few days of the month. Unfortunately, other than one Dark Sword-grass, a few Diamond-backed Moths and a procession of Silver Y, I did not record any of the migrants that are currently winging their way around the country. Only one new macro for me, a Tawny Shears.
Tawny Shears - new for garden on 17th June
Dark Sword-grass - my sixth in five years, 16th June
All black Peppered Moth impersonating a SR71 Blackbird
White Ermine - second garden record, first in June 2010
Toadflax Brocade - well established (four in May and five in June)
Ingrailed Clay - every one seems to be different
Broom Moth - a couple every year
Shark
Shoulder-striped Wainscot - common here but seemingly not for other county trappers
