A few interesting Moths this morning.

Sunday  12th October  2025.

One of two Plumed Fan-foots.

Overcast again this morning and literally a repeat of yesterday morning regarding the weather. There were not as many moths as yesterday in and around my Moth Box, but not too bad in numbers and a reasonable variety too.

One of two Blair's Mocha's.

There were 31 moths of 13 species recorded this morning of which the two Plumed Fan-foot were probably the rarest of the bunch. It isn't a common moth on the south coast but I seemed to have done well with this species this year. New for the month were an Angle Shades and a Tree-mallow Tortrix and two Blair’s Mocha’s (probably yesterday’s moths) were also present.

My first Angle Shades for October.

The Moths present this morning included the following:
