Female Diurnea Fagella
Monday, 23 March 2020
Busy Day
Started off with a quick look round Cromwell Bottom and could only find 1 Orange Underwing flitting around the tops of the Silver Birch next to lagoon 1. Lots of reports today of Comma , Small Tortoiseshell and Peacock , but the star today was the first Brimstone of the year at Brookfoot thanks Mike and Kath. 5 male Diurnea fagella (March Dagger) and 1 female tonight in the woods and a Common Plume flying by the outside light...It feels a lot warmer tonight and good for moth trappers.....

Ah yes - Orange Underwing I think this wood looks great for them in the birch part.
Yes keep an eye on the tops of those Silver Birch trees and you will see there courtship display over the next week or so...
