Paul's British & Irish 2024 Moth List (1 Viewer)

[Paul Chapman]

A bit of catching up to do in due course but amongst them a Willowherb Hawkmoth (Britain's 4th) twitched from Folkestone, Kent on Sunday.

My 18th British & Irish Hawkmoth of which I have my only sightings of four are twitches - Willowherb, Spurge, Death's-head & Oleander.

All the best

Paul
