Hay Wood and Gadesprings Field Trip report - 02/04/14 Hello all. Last night I was joined by David and Steve for our first trapping session on the Boxmoor Trust's land. The ensuing conditions were perfect with a good amount of cloud cover present and temperatures holding up at dusk at about 15 degrees. The only niggle was that damn breeze, which thankfully did drop as the night progressed. David had already set-up three traps at Gadesprings earlier on, so the plan was to use four traps at Hay Wood and at the Old Barn, then go back to Gadesprings after we had finished. Setting up 3 different traps throughout the wood and leaving one out on an exposed position near the barn, we were all set and ready for the deluge. The moths did come, sparingly at first with a spankingly fresh Water Carpet being the first moth in, Brindled Pugs, Diurnea fagella's and Common Quakers followed. We fared much better this year compared to last year where we had our first trapping session over 3 weeks later than this date, and were catching pretty much the same species, although last year was very odd. See HERE for last years report. It was very nice to see so many Water Carpets again, last year we managed about 10, this year we easily trumped that with 20+ individuals. Also the freshest Waved Umber I have ever seen graced the side of the trap near the Old Barn. Species of note included 3 Shoulder-stripe, 1 immaculate Purple Thorn and a year first Pale Pinion, which was found sitting in the long grass near the trap at the Old Barn. So onto the list of moths recorded.

Summary[edit] Description: 4 new for year's last Saturday.. Lead-coloured Drab finally Last Saturday the weather was quite favourable with little wind and warm temperatures so the trap again went on in the garden. Four new for year moths were added to the year list. I thought I had missed out on Lead-coloured Drab this year but luckily a very pale brown one turned up nearly at last knockings. 4 Lunar Marbled Brown was great, last year I recorded only one with was a first for the garden. To get 4 in one night was quite special. Notables listed below.
