Spent yesterday on Shapwick Heath with Mark Parsons looking for Argent and Sable larvae. We did very well, finding them in all the compartments we surveyed. One of the larvae was only first instar but most were last instar and several spinnings were vacated. Mark was responsible for an interesting pieces of "bycatch" in the form of Lesser Cream Wave.

Robin Clatworthy and I joined Mike Ridge at Hurlestone on Sunday night. Mike produced one Devonshire Wainscot among the usual run of species. I bravely carried all my gear up to the Hurlestone Point watchtower and along the cliff path there to sample the real hardcore cliff species. Quite what Scarce Silver Lines was doing up there I'm not sure but it seemed quite at home along with Crescent Dart.

Robin and I did Berrow Dunes on Monday night, getting quite a few Shore Wainscot and Southern Wainscot, White Line Dart and a probable Ash Pug.
