Mothing - 28th May,
After an abysmal start to the year, mothing has begun to pick up. Amongst
the regular garden species I had my first Dark Swordgrass and White-point
of the year. They would be considered to be migrants in the majority
of the UK, but are resident species on the Isle of Thanet! Nice moths all
the same. (Dylan)
