After one of my traps went up in flames on Friday
after I accidentally left it switched on all day whilst covered over with a
triple layer of carpet, I fixed up my spare and got both traps up and
running last night after a whole night off. There were only 4 macro moths -
singles of Mallow, Lunar Underwing, a late Vine's Rustic
and a Beaded Chestnut. Nothing of any significance has occurred here
this past week on the moth front - the occasional Clancy's Rustic,
Dusky Lemon Sallow, up to 2 Sallows, Large Wainscot plus a
Barred Sallow on the night of the 10th. (Phil M)

Wednesday 5th October 2011 Pegwell Trap
Night of 4/10. Bitterly disappointing to have all but missed out on the
migrant influx - a Delicate doesn't quite cut the mustard. Bits of minor
Thanet interest last night were; Merveille du Jour, Feathered Brindle,
Deep Brown Dart (fairly common in the past but now scarce),
Pink-barred Sallow and the first Feathered Thorn of the autumn.
