A small moth taken in a light trap literally yards to the north of our northern recording boundary has proved to be Waved Carpet - a scarce and threatened species which was never on the radar for this area. Its close relative, Welsh Wave is very familiar to us fell-edge trappers but even that would be well outside its comfort zone at coastal sites, despite planted rowans
Middleton came up with the goods this evening with 15 Mullein larvae being located by Justine
Birds included:
Med Gull - a single 2CY on the sea off Ocean Edge
Tree Sparrow - one heard by the feeder early am
Greenfinch - 21 caught at the feeder, mainly juvenile males
Moth trap
Bordered Sallow was nice and a few new for the year including Common Emerald and Dark Arches
Waved Carpet (thanks John)
