Jenna and I visited World's End in Denbighshire, North Wales, this evening and ran a four-hour moth-trapping session. I wanted to target moorland macro moth species, as I hadn't recorded that many, so I was hoping for a few new additions.
World's End
As the sun set, we could hear Nightjars churring in the distance as we started the moth night, and we even saw one on the road near where we parked.
Silver Y
Heart and Dart
Dark Arches
Ingrailed Clay
Large Yellow Underwing
Peppered Moth
Glaucous Shears
Broom Moth
Nut-tree Tussock
Scalloped Hazel
Light Knot Grass
Buff Ermine
We finished the session at around 1am, and on the way back over the moor, we had great views of another Nightjar sitting on the road before it flew off.
A great night.
