V-Moth - Clough Wood

Had a successful night at Clough Wood with Brian Statham. The V-Moth was the highlight for me, known from Clough Wood it is always encountered in low numbers and appears to be disappearing in the south of the country. Almost exclusively associated with Gooseberry it still occurs in areas with this food plant. Also caught 5 Slender Brindle, 3 Large Twin-spot Carpet, Sandy Carpet, 2 Buff Footman, 3 Triple-spotted Clay, The Clay and at least half a dozen micro's that will be new for the year if I can identify them, photos to follow.
Interestingly I caught almost nothing at home which I think shows the effect of a slight difference in temperature.
