Details of Tuesday night's catch
A good moth for our parish was sitting on our garden
shed last night
It was a Pale
Pinion. Last year, Sophie at NOA recorded one for
the Parish of Holme on April 16th (the first for Norfolk???)
Regarding this species I have just had an email from Jon Clifton
and he reports the following:
"It does state in the last Norfolk Moth Survey newsletter
that last years two records were the first for the county.
I do know that Steve Mills at Gunthorpe and Ash Murray
at Courtyard Farm, Ringstead claim to have caught this species
in 2006 and 2001 so some confusion somewhere?"
Others in the trap were:
1 March Moth
2 Clouded Drab
6 Common Quaker
1 Early Thorn
3 Small Quaker
1 Hebrew Character
