 Luddenden 24th May

At last things are picking up with the warmer nights, I was just saying on Dave's post yesterday that I had never had a Fox Moth here and one turned up last night. In a repeat of the one I had at Pellon in 2010 she laid eggs.

Quite a turn up for the book then Charlie - Fox Moth + eggs a bit special. Nice list as well. Still not getting many moths at all here yet. Very slow but interesting !
