Below is the report from our amazing night at one of the largest woods in Hertfordshire, Scales Park an ex American World War 2 base where permissions are needed to trap being a heritage site and shooting range.
The evening started very well indeed with easy access onto the site as before allowing us to drive in, but a bit of walking on my part was needed as I places most of my traps off of the main rides which were quite overgrown.
Moths were quick to come to the lights and we all ended up with huge numbers to or lights. One MV trap that I ran had over 20 Satin Beauty, 6 Large Emerald and 6 Triple-spotted Pug, the latter species new to me and currently the only site in Hertfordshire hat supports this species.
Another new species for me was Agonopterix conterminella, presumed extinct in the County.
I still have several twitchy micros to check and photo.
Over to Colin...
