At this time of year moth trapping can get a bit samey with day after day producing the same half dozen similar species in varying quantities. This year has been even worse with a poor, cold, spring greatly reducing garden catches, so when I inspected last nights catch, this morning I was very pleased to find two quite sought after spring species.
The pick of the bunch were only my second garden record of
Red Sword-grass and, also hoped for each year, a
Pale Pinion.
