Wednesday November 8
Definitely winter temperatures now but we're still catching good moths. In species anyway, numbers are extremely low. One moth at Cley last Thursday and one at Natural Surroundings yesterday. We didn't go yesterday, as I have a respiratory infection for the first time in years.
Some photos of a few of the species we've trapped in November so far. The Iron Prominent is the latest County record by a long way. - and we've had two. Will take this morning's catch to Cley to-morrow so that we have something to look at !

In my October end of the month sorting of unidentified moths before filing - usually the Micro moths - I found the one below. As, if i got it right, it's pretty rare, I sent the pic to Richard and he confirmed the identity. An Acleris Logiana which would have been a tick for everyone, even Richard. No, I hadn't retained it............Oh dear.
