A WEEK MOTHING IN SUTTON COURTENAY-OXFORDSHIRE

With work taking me back to Oxfordshire this week, I took the opportunity to do a bit of mothing on the side. I was staying in Sutton Courtenay, in a really nice Airbnb with a lake just behind it, pretty much an ideal setup.


The weather was all over the place, some nights mild, others cooler, with a bit of variation throughout, but that didn’t stop things from turning up. Below are a few of the moths I managed to trap.



Muslin Moth



Powdered Quaker



Frosted Green


Twin-Spotted Quaker



Nut-Tree Tussock


Swallow Prominent

Common Plume

Chestnut

Streamer
