The influx of Great Brocades into the country is of continental origin. Not surprising given the recent weather system in northern Germany/France giving Easterly winds across the North Sea. This is classic time for Great Brocade immigration though it normally only reaches the East Coastal region and usually up North. To get them this far West is a real bonus. The Scottish Great Brocades are much darker than this immigrant form and usually have a short flight period around late July/early August. The two from last night are the third and fourth records for Somerset. I think I may put a trap out tonight too :-)
