I ran my moth trap last night for the first time in 10 days, having taken it it early (10.0pm) I gave it no more than a cursory glance, and as far I could see there were no moths in it. Tonight I checked the trap again before putting it out and to my very great surprise I found a live female Ghost Swift moth. It's a very late date for this species, a second brood perhaps or a rather late emergence. I suspect the latter.
A 'Heads up' for those of you living on the East Coast, one of our BF members (Tom Tams) took a Paignton Snout last night in Whitley Bay Northumberland, there is absolutely no doubt about the identity of this species, which is probably only the sixth British record and certainly a first for Northumberland.
