Castle Brae Winter Moth

Not a new species but a Winter Moth was the latest to be pulled in by the office lights

Castle Brae - new species!

Office wall uplighters score another new species with Scarce Umber. Ran the moth trap all night last night in the garden and got nothing! Alongside the Scarce there was also  Mottled, but that has been recorded before.

Dalgety Bay, 28/09/2017

Had an hour or so with actinic in Bathing House Wood
Common Marbled Carpet (1)
Square-spot Rustic (2)
Red-green Carpet (1)
Angle Shades (1)

Wasn't going bad but decided to ead home anyway. Left the actinic in the back garden overnight and caught one Blair's Shoulder Knot. Amazing how dull the battery powered actinic looks compared to an 80W MV!
