First up, the moth group trip we did to Sherrardspark Wood on the outskirts of Welwyn Garden City.
The day had been relatively warm and the night time temperatures held up, unfortunately the catches were poor and apart from a few nice species, numbers were dominated by hundreds upon hundreds of Blastobasis adustella, in fact it was hard to see past them at times!
The best moth of the night was a single Nemapogon ruricolella, only the 5th modern record for Herts.
Aristotelia ericinella was found in good numbers around the Heather.
For the temperature, we were a little disappointed, maybe we were too late for the good stuff!
Below is the full list from the night.
