1 WHITE SATIN TO 22 WATT ACTINIC, ON THE EVENING OF JUNE 13TH IN MY EASTBOURNE GARDEN, ALMOST CERTAIN MIGRANT, EXAMPLE VERY WORN AND FIRST EVER RECORD FOR GARDEN.

Had 46 Rannoch looper last night to three 400w mv in local woods, plus one in the garden trap. All were male and worn, but one was fresh leading me think they are breeding in the area, although there is no Bilberry in this part of Kent. Some are also very under-sized looking as if they have fed on something not to their liking! Has anybody had similar experiences?

Just caught a stunner by the name of Evergestis limbata. What a cracking moth.

eve 11th June

Just Like buses, you wait for ages to to get one and then two turn up. Another Rannoch Looper This time in our reedbed at Mill Pond Marsh, Sidlesham. Also Flame Wainscot

At least one Dainty Damselfly (male) this morning on the Isle of Sheppey. Cross the old road bridge and then park up. Follow path on north side of bridge west past pools under the new road bridge. View north shore of pools.

1 Rannoch looper last night, had my first on the 3rd. both males.

No Rannoch Loopers this morning! Total reached 31 in all by 9th June. A few migrant Silver Ys & Rusty Dot Pearls, but the Delicate (2 today) is now resident.

Night of 9th June, 5 x Silver Y

9/6/11 : Painted Lady Butterfly in our garden this morning, 1st that we have seen this year.

Rannoch Looper last night here in Weston-super-Mare. They have been reported 20 miles east and 20 miles south of me in recent days so don't know which direction it has come from. Seems likely that they should reach South Wales very soon.
