Nut-tree Tussock

As I hoped the warm temperature produced a bumper moth catch (relative to recent weeks) with 7 new macro and 2 micro species new for the year;
V-pug, Waved Umber, Poplar Hawkmoth, Swallow Prominent, Lesser Swallow Prominent, Pale Tussock, White Ermine, Nut-tree Tussock, Cabbage Moth all singles with the two Pyralids  Scoparia ambigualis and Aphomia sociella (Bee Moth) the two micro's.
Nut-tree Tussock was a good record for the garden, it's by no means annual although can be found in reasonable numbers in the birch areas around the moor.
