Field Trip - Bramfield Park Woods - 15/07/20

My last trip out that I did to Bramfield Park Woods was a very successful night, species are slowly dropping off and now we appear to be past the peak 200+ species nights of dreams.

Nevertheless, some really lovely moths were still on the wing and to top it all off, I managed a new moth species for my records, the Balsam Carpet.
Not a particularly common moth, and great to see, albeit in a rather poor condition.

Below is the full list of moth species from the night.
