Spring has yet to reach the uplands of Ammerdown either, by the look of things.
3 Pale Brindled Beauty, 1 Chestnut, 1 Acleris ferrugana/notana (probably the former given the abundance of oak and absence of birch in the wood) and the moth below. Size and shape are right for Chestnut but does the bold patterning fit within the range of variation of this species?
The Pale Brindled Beauties chose not to enter the trap but instead snuggled up together at one end of the actinic strip-light.
