Last night my trap at home had among the usual things, a Double Striped Pug and an Early Thorn. This evening I did a quick recce for tomorrow night's trapping at Merryfield by trapping at the turning circle just north of Speke's Wood. Happily, one of the first moths in was a male Small Eggar but later on I caught not one but THREE Small Brindled Beauty!!!! The supporting cast included loads of Small and Common Quaker, Grey Shoulder Knot, which seems to be having a good year, 2 Early Thorn, 1 Engrailed 1 Pale Brindled Beauty, 2 Twin Spotted Quaker and 6 Oak Beauty. What tomorrow night will bring when we have several lights going, who knows but watch this space.
