| 1699 Least Carpet 20/10/2014 |
My garden traps over the last 3 days have had the county recorders rewriting the record books.
Buff Ermine, Swallow-tailed Moth on the 18th Oct and last night I added a pristine Heart and Dart plus a Least Carpet !
Maybe there is still hope for Brindled Pug, a notable absentee from my garden year list back in April/May, I think not.

Oak-tree Pug this morning.....only joking :o though I got another Carcina quercana, fresh Brimstone Moth and a few Common Carpet....this is a silly year!
ReplyDeleteLarge Wainscot I haven't had yet, in fact I haven't had Southern, Bulrush, Webbs or Fen yet in my garden....but I got Silky earlier this year, which is strangely rarer than all those put together!
Good catch of Angle Shades matey.
Cheers

You're not wrong, it's been an odd year. Our recorders are going to be busy rewriting the "acceptable flight dates" records this year.
