Goldcliff, 2nd October

I ran the MV trap and recorded 35 moths of 13 species. NFY were a Large Ranunculus and 5 Blaire's Shoulder-knots. The catch also included 14 Beaded Chestnuts, a Lunar Underwing and a Bordered Beauty.
The camouflage of the Large Ranunculus on the concrete wall of the barn was superb.
