One to light at Aqualife, Lostock Hall Nursery, Poynton on 5th July was new to the 10km square SJ98. I’ve been expecting this, as it has been found in the 10km squares to the south, north and west of here recently. Quite unexpected from this site though, as it’s a Bilberry feeder and the nearest Bilberry is several miles away, so a vagrant that’s unlikely to reoccur. Ironically I was trapping the previous night at Tegg’s Nose, amongst Bilberry, yet failed to find any there and it’s a known site for them.
