    Well done on the Streamer Stewart- mine was too quick for the camera shutter! I see you're getting a few Water Carpets. I'm hoping for it this year after getting just 1 last......

    Hi Matt, yes I get a few Water Carpets throughout the next month or so. They are dark and the standard patterned but I've never seen one like the one Dean caught the other night...

    Stewart, regards the one i caught last week, our county Macro recorder has never seen that form. Always good to get one up on such people ;-)

    You`re right about Streamers. Stunning moths. Well done.
