Lucky for me, everything went swimmingly (and there was no rain).
Pick of the catch was a garden first Recurvaria nanella, the only other moth in the Recurvaria genus that is recorded here in the UK.
The most common of the two being leaucatella, certainly in my area.
It was also great to get a 2nd garden record of the Coronet, and what a bonny example it was.
A week later I record another one of a different form, superb!
Coronet is an unusual one, as it is common as muck in the West of Hertfordshire (I once recorded over 20 in two traps) but is slowly spreading East and North it seems.
Garden species count for 2018 now upto 360.
Here are the new for year species.
