NFG 07/03/2025

I suppose I should make an effort to update the garden moth list page on here sometime. Another NFG last night which (I think) brings it up to 766 species - not to shabby for a small suburban garden with no decent habitat close by, but a long time in the making.

Acleris literana last night was one I hoped would pop up, seems to have been scarcer in VC55 away from decent woodland than eg A. cristana and A. hastiana up until the last few years, but seems to be spreading well now like A. kochiella and A. logiana.

The only other highlight as such was a NFY Twin-spotted Quaker, not annual here though a fair run of records 2018 - 2022.

Here's a cracking track from Fat Dog, you're welcome.
