Whitefield, Wiveliscombe.
The rain arrived for St Swithins Day but the number of species in the trap each night remains at around sixty. New for the year in the succeeding days - Yellow Underwings, Lesser, Broad-bordered and Lesser Broad-bordered. Satin Beauty, Rosy Rustic, Rosy Footman, Mouse Moth, Black Arches, Magpie, Yellow Tail, and a second-brood Purple Thorn. Micros include Carcina quercana, Udea lutealis and a first for our garden the delightful tiny A.brockeella. We saw a Humming-bird Hawkmoth nectaring on buddleia - our third this year.
