My first and only Glaucous Shears at Dingestow visited in May 2001. After 17 years of waiting I was thrilled to catch another of thus upland moth last night (22/5). I wouldn't normally have trapped on a coolish night with northerly airflow, but guests wanted to see some moths; I'm glad I did! Other highlights included 2 May Highflyers, 1 Orange Footman and my first Mottled Pug of the year. A bit of diurnal beating and sweeping produced a Small Yellow Underwing, 2 Coleophora deauratella and lots of Glyphipterix fuscoviridella.
