Went up to Draycott Sleights last night to see what the count of Light Feathered Rustic might be on a dark, still, warmish night, as opposed to the cool night with full moon that brought out five of them on Friday last. It turns out that the answer was one!!!

It was joined by over forty other species so not a bad night. Galium Carpet, Shears, Rustic Shoulder Knot and Treble Bar were new moths for the year and there were a few nice weevils to be seen in the undergrowth to add to the general natural interest. I can only think that the high winds of the last few days have driven all the Light Feathered Rustics down to Brean and Berrow. Be interesting to see if Brian Slade gets an influx :-)
