44 species of moth were recorded at the Nitten Field yesterday morning by myself, Chris Manley, Bob Rigdon and Veronica Shenston. Highlights included Galium Carpet, Red-green Carpet, 4 L-album Wainscots, Feathered Ranunculus, Flounced Chestnut and a Convolvulus Hawk-moth, the latter being a rather uncommon migrant and one of largest species.

There were also a couple of Sexton Beetles (Nicrophorus investigator) and Dor Beetles (Geotrupes stercorarius). No idea what it means but Stercorarius is also the generic name for skuas.
