37 moths of 5 species. Nothing to photograph.
Tom Tams, County Recorder caught a Tawny Pinion in his Tynemouth garden last night, only the 5th Northumberland record. Nice one.
This is one I caught on Halloween 2009. Tell the difference from darker Pale Pinions by the very dark mohican stripe and the blackish marks leading to the trailing edge. A nice moth to look out for...
