Summary[edit]

Description

Bury Wood and Gadesprings Field Trip report - 07/05/14 We planned another field trip to a previously un-trapped Wood owned by the Boxmoor Trust on Wednesday night, it was blowing an awful gale at times, threatening rain and getting cooler by the hour and I was wondering whether it would be at all worth it. Luckily access to this wood was brilliant, parking the cars was easy and it was only a short walk to set the traps up in the quickly fading light. The moths were pretty quick to respond and this was probably due to the conditions deteriorating as the night progressed. First moth in was a Brimstone Moth...we weren't surprised!

Second moth was what I initially thought a Nematopogon swammerdamella, but a closer look at home revealed it to be Nematopogon schwarziellus instead.

Third moth I potted up was an Incurvaria and not masculella this time, the slightly less common Incurvaria oehlmanniella.

The Brimstone's didn't stop after the first one as we had got 15 + by the end of the night, along with good numbers of White-pinion Spotted and Nut-tree Tussock (both 15+ individuals as well)

Broken-barred Carpet was very fresh and interesting to catch two slightly worn Water Carpet to compare with.

We struggled to get to 20 species which was a shame but I really enjoyed a good night out.

Gadesprings fared even worse with just 3 moths!

Roger can you remember the 3 moths we got at Gadesprings? I know it was Green Carpet but can't for the life of my remember the other two, how bad is that!
