Field Trip - Weston Park - 12/09/19

On Thursday last week, I was invited to run some moth traps at Weston Park, a mere 6 minute drive from where I live. I was greeted at 7pm, and shown around the grounds and decided on a few good areas to position my traps. The day had been warm in the sunshine but with a cool wind developing at times. Full cloud cover ensued after dark but the wind didn't drop and I think this slightly hampered the numbers in the end, in fact one trap I decided to re-site because of the gusty conditions.

Thankfully the three other traps that were tucked away faired much better.

It was extremely exciting and rewarding coming to an area so close to me that has never been properly explored for moths before.

I packed up at around half midnight and left just after 1am with a pretty tidy list for this time of year with 44 species.

Best Macro Moth for me was an Orange Sallow, owing to the mature Limes in the vicinity.. expected really. Also 3 forms of Elachista canapennella had my head scratching!

Many thanks to Margaret Luis for organising the evening for me, I shall be back hopefully soon.

Here is the full list
