Eakring Moths 2011
A summary of the year
 
A relatively quiet year for trapping at Eakring, with just 11 trapping sessions between March 21st and October 2nd. For the record, we visited Lound Wood on nine occasions and Red Hill twice, picking up three new species for the area, taking the Eakring list to a healthy 657 species.

These were Semioscopis steinkellneriana from Lound Wood on April 14th, a surprising Pyrausta despicata from Red Hill on a breezy and slightly cool feeling August 24th, whilst a new macro was the Red-line Quaker, again at Red Hill on October 2nd, just a few days before our first ever on Budby South Forest.

It was clear over the course of the Summer and Autumn, that moth numbers had clearly been affected by the very dry weather and complete trap counts and the numbers of individual species were lower than normally would have been expected.

  
....
The three new species went some way to compensating for the low numbers and despite having very favourable weather for migrant moths, we failed to record even the commonest species in 2011.

Similar to moth populations at Sherwood Forest, Common Quakers and several other early Spring species, all had a good flight season. A Grey Shoulder-knot was trapped on April 30th, representing one of just a few records we had of the moth this year. Hard to believe that it is nearly ten years since the first Nottinghamshire records of this moth, one of which was at Eakring.

Maiden's Blush is not a common moth in the county, and definitely not so here, so a single trapped at Lound Wood on August 19th was welcome. Other scarce county moths recorded during 2011 were Oak Nycteolene, Vine's Rustic, Least Black Arches and Scorched Wing. Hopefully, 2012 will be better and with increased coverage.
