Massive catch-up ensues I'm going to be brief because I am way behind! This is a catch from the 30th of July! With such a poor start to 2016 and into early summer things weren't much better. And then it all just happened and July and August has seen some fantastic quality of records for Hertfordshire. On the 30th of July I recorded some great species in my garden, with Recurvaria nanella, Piniphila bifasciana, Coleophora hemerobiella, Swammerdamia pyrella and Carpatolechia fugitivella all new moths for my garden and backed up by uncommon garden Macro species such as Dusky Sallow and Old Lady.
