Just when you think nothing is happening I get a call from the park ranger Sam Flowers at Emberton Country Park there’s a moth on the gate house wall.
What a moth Black-spotted Chestnut. To say it made our day is an understatement.

4 x Mottled Umber all within 18inches of a wall light this morning. A great example of how variable they can be.

I would like to wish everyone a happy Christmas and New Year. Can I also thank-you all for sharing the highs and lows of your Moth year along with so many wonderful photos and so much information. I know we can’t wait for 2026 to start and do it all again. 🍾🥂✨

Finished the night on 34/19
with 3NFY, a battered Feathered Thorn wrapped up the night. The Mottled Umber being a full moth earlier than I’ve ever caught one before. The Swallow tail being the latest I’ve ever caught one.

Only 22 moths but the Clancy’s Rustic is a life moth for me. I’m also pleased with the Mallow which I catch in low numbers.
