Field Trip - Parndon Wood - Wednesday night
Had a terrific night at Parndon Wood last night with 2 possibly 3 new species for me, also my second sighting of Poplar Lutestring, an extremely local moth and one I had a lttle later on in the year in 2010. This still is the only sight where I have recorded this moth.

It was nice to see 2 Ptycholoma lecheana, a very striking species of Tortricidae

The weather was indeed against me again, with clearing skies and a drop from 14c last night at 10pm to 7c this morning, agai this probably affected the numbers.

I too hark what Mary is saying, I have heard a lot of Cuckoo's whilst out fishing lately.
