Sunday 30th October 2022.
A rather late Vine's Rustic.
Heavy rain early this morning stopped me from checking my moth box and I had to wait until well past 8am to get out there to see if any goodies had turned up. Talking about rare moths with Dave Wallace yesterday really whetted my appetite, but it all turned out to be a bit of an anticlimax.
Lesser Yellow Underwing.
The best of the small bunch was a Vine’s Rustic, which was rather late I thought and followed by Lesser Yellow Underwing. The following moths were present this morning:
- 1 Vine’s Rustic
- 1 Lesser Yellow Underwing
- 4 Double-striped Pug
- 12 Light Brown Apple Moth
- 1 Common Plume
- 1 Rusty-dot Pearl
Rusty-dot Pearl.
Overhead, there were singles of Meadow Pipit and Greenfinch over, but nothing else of note on a soggy Sunday morning. The heads are up looking for Pallid Swifts today as another was reported yesterday in Hampshire, from Trig Point Hill, Timsbury.
