Thursday 7th August 2025.
It was still dark when I got up this morning and therefore I am going to get up a bit later in future. There was a stunning moon again last night before heading off to bed as I also watched a Silver Y moth go about its business by one of my plants and I could already see at least two Jersey Tigers by the Moth Box.
It was mild this morning, around 16 degrees centigrade and being very still with no wind whatsoever. It was overcast first thing, but it did get a bit clearer as the morning wore on. A good selection of Moths again this morning with numbers rising again. No visible migration this morning, which was disappointing, but plenty of noisy Herring Gulls going over! However, I was sure I heard the Green Woodpecker calling distantly!
My Moth Box:
A good total of 86 moths of 32 species were recorded this morning of which 17 of those were Double-striped Pugs which were dotted all over the place within the garden. Ten Tiger moths were also in the garden and Moth Box with 6 Garden and 4 Jersey Tigers while other notable moths included a Small Ranunculus and a Plumed Fan-foot.
The Moths recorded this morning included the following:
