Tuesday 30th January 2007 Newington Thanet
I
spotted a moth fluttering around one of the traps in the back garden
overnight and it turned out to be this Pearly Underwing. There were
also a few Light Brown Apple Moths kicking about too. I also took
singles of
Blastobasis lignea and a Diamond Back on the 19th
before this latest spell of cold weather hit us. (Phil M)
