The warmer and more settled spell last week was relatively kind so two nights trapping at my local rewilding site produced 47 species on 7th May and 89 species on 11th May including two Buttoned Snouts. In Clevedon, a few bits and bobs have included two Netted Pugs.
Yearlist now 150 species.
A few pics - Pale Prominent, Buff-tip, Netted Pug, Cinnabar, Peach Blossom, Ruby Tiger, Cochylichroa atricapitana, Pseudagyrotoza conwagana, Small Yellow Underwing, Sandy Carpet, Orange Footman, Yellow-barred Brindle, Sallow Kitten, Puss Moth, Buttoned Snout (first), Buttoned Snout (second), Epiblema cynosbatella, Ancylis badiana, Aspilapteryx tringipennella & Scalloped Hazel.
All the best

This morning's entertainment as well. The Treble Lines is included because it is one of the variants with a light inner and dark outer wing.
Of the two micros, Schoenobius gigantella is longer than quite a lot of macros whereas Caloptilia robustella (not gen detted of course, I've no interest in such activity) is diddy.

Edit: of the two micros, the alleged Schoenobius gigantella is actually a Bee Moth, my thanks to Paul for the correction. JD

A rather tatty White-pinion Spotted this morning was only my second record. Rather more impressive, my second Puss Moth of the year. Pebble Hook-tip, Treble Lines (two of) and Alder Moth all NFY.

Forgot to charge the battery last night... A single Brimstone flying early evening.
In case people missed it, do see: Old book -- Wilkes, The english moths and butterflies

Sadly haven't got to any trapping sessions recently. Had hoped to go about 10 days ago at a local reserve but tested positive for Covid on my return from Greece, though felt okay.
Yesterday during a flora survey came across 6 Brown-silver Lines, Cinnabar, Diamond-back & Glyphipterix fuscoviridella.

Two NFY this morning: Figure of Eighty and Garden Carpet. Otherwise 3 Treble Lines and singles of Silver Y, Heart and Dart, Oak-tree Pug, Nut-tree Tussock and LBAM.
Edit: I had second thoughts about the pug and after some research it looks like Green Pug to me.
