Sorry to be a bit late posting this but I've been away teaching photography.
Early in the month I had my best ever garden catches - 96 species on 30th June, 106 species on 1st July, 122 species on 2nd July. Nothing outstanding although a few firsts for the garden on the macro side, such as Brown Scallop. The micros have been interesting - thanks once again to James McGill for identifying many of them and confirming the few I felt confident about!
The best of these was 851 Dichomeris alacella - the only other records are 2, by James, from Taunton.
851 Dichomeris alacella
640 Batia lunaris
946 Aethes rubigana
Marasmarcha lunaedactyla
1445 Pempelia formosa
1441 Oncocera semirubella
1439 Trachycera advenella
518 Coleophora mayrella
246 Tinea semifulvella
