An excellent night last night with162 Macros of 43 species. I find that there are some moths I find more exciting than others and two of these, Scorched Wing and Shoulder Striped Wainscot, were caught last night for the first time this year. Other first timers were Small Rivulet, Cinnabar, Clouded Silver, Chocolate Tip, Coronet and Light Emerald. I suffer from House Sparrows here who chase any moths that fly away whilst I'm checking the trap. This morning one was perched on the plastic Sparrowhawk I hang up to frighten them off. Several nights ago I came across a newt waiting patiently by my trap for its supper.
