        .....An annual migrant to southern areas of the UK, but 
		much rarer inland and far from being annual in VC56. At one time 
		Bordered Straw was considered a more commonly occurring migrant than 
		Scarce Bordered Straw, but the status of both species seems to have 
		reversed over the past decade. Bordered Straw continues to be very 
		unpredictable in its appearances in VC56. 
 Recent records (post-2000) include two 
		moths taken on the same night at Newark and Sutton-on-Trent on August 
		4th 2003, which remained the only records for several more years. It was 
		expected to occur during the big migration year of 2006, but failed to 
		turn up really, apart from moths at Colwick CP, Chilwell and Keyworth.
 
 2015 represented a much better year, with records from Market 
		Warsop, Bestwood, Keyworth, Stanton-on-the-Wolds, Misterton, Ravenshead 
		and Hollyside, but it has since continued to be somewhat sporadic in its 
		occurences and not until 2022, was it reported from a number of sites 
		including West Bridgford, East Markham, Misterton, Attenborough, 
		Stanton-on-the-Wolds and Keyworth.
 
 Following something of an 
		influx into parts of the UK during the latter part of June 2025, there 
		were numerous Nottinghamshire records, initially with singles at East 
		Bridgford on June 24th, 25th and August 10th, Keyworth on June 24th, 
		Stanton-on-the-Wolds June 25th, Lound Wood June 29th, before further 
		records from several sites, likely from a resultant second brood during August.
