Half decent night with some nice surprises: photos added

Post by SteveH »

Morning folks,

so, 109 moths of 46 species last night, with 10 NFY. The undoubted highlight was our 3rd ever Tinea semifulvella but there was also a superb, fresh Peach Blossom, itself just our 4th ever. Other species which you would show newcomers to our hobby to get them hooked included Beautiful Hook-tip, Buff Arches and Barred Yellow. Three Argyresthia cupressella ought not to go unmentioned either.

Hopefully have some photos to add later on today but for now I've some surveying to get to at Ince Park!
