Bernwood Forest
I certainly got my February "fix" of moths last night! Two MV Robinsons were taken into Bernwood Forest, Bucks for the usual three hours and, with the promised drizzle holding off until after I'd packed up, between them they managed to bring in a reasonable 14 species. However, the total number of moths caught (885) was just about double my expectations, with 374 to the trap in Oakley Wood and 511 to the other one in Shabbington Wood. The combined species totals were as follows: Acleris ferrugana/notana (2), Acleris cristana (1), Tortricodes alternella (71), March Moth (43), Small Brindled Beauty (127), Pale Brindled Beauty (287), Oak Beauty (4), Spring Usher (224), Dotted Border (34), Small Quaker (1), Common Quaker (4), Clouded Drab (1), Satellite (31) & Chestnut (55).
