I met Bill at Merryfield last night and ran a light under the small stand of aspen on the southern side of the airfield. One Lead-coloured Drab turned up. Both the tree and the moth are scarce in Somerset. I have seen specimens that Robin Clatworthy caught at Nether Stowey in the 1980s but its distribution in the county is generally unclear. Males have strongly bipectinate antennae.
