Version 11.6/October 2023 of the Nottinghamshire moth list, incorporates the addition of those species recorded as new (or believed new) to Nottinghamshire up to September 9th 2023.

The list includes the recent additions of Oblique Barred, Choreutis nemorana, Ochsenheimeria urella, Antispila metallella, Antispila petryi and Caloptilia honoratella, also including Caloptilia falconipennella which had been ommitted from previous versions of the list.

In keeping with all previous species lists on www.eakringbirds.com, the list continues to remain as up to date as possible and is believed accurate and in line with those lists currently held by the respective county recorders.

As usual, this version replaces all previous versions of this list.

Updated on October 12th 2023 to include all the latest species additions to the county list. There are three versions of species list available in this Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, and it is ideal to use if you're sending records to the county recorder.

Three available lists are formatted according to taxonomic order, the old Bradley and Fletcher numbering system and the present ABH list order, provided by the 'Checklist of the Lepidoptera of the British Isles' (D. Agassiz, S. Beavan, R. Heckford. 2013).

This version replaces all previous spreadsheet versions of the species list.

Version 10.4/October 2022 of the Nottinghamshire moth list, incorporates the addition of those species recorded as new (or believed new) to Nottinghamshire to September 30th 2022. In keeping with all previous species lists on www.eakringbirds.com, the list continues to remain as up to date as possible and at any time (information forthcoming) should always be considered to be current.

The macro list is completely up to date and in line with that held by the county recorder, while the micro list is not confirmed, but is strongly believed to be accurate. Records thought to be of rather dubious origins and identifications have hopefully been removed in this latest version.

This version replaces all other versions and as usual, includes the new scientific species names, numbering systems and orders of species, as used in the 'Checklist of the Lepidoptera of the British Isles' (D. Agassiz, S. Beavan, R. Heckford. 2013). The old Bradley and Fletcher numbers are still provided.

BINDING, A.E., BINDING, A., PENDLETON, T., PENDLETON, D. & CLIFTON, S.J. 2011. The status of the hazel pot beetle Cryptocephalus coryli at Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve. Natural England Commissioned Reports, Number 066.

A link to the Natural England commissioned report from 2011, in which Dilys and I were down as co-authors, following our involvement with the surveys of Allan and Annette Binding back in 2009.

The disappointing aspect, which still niggles to this very day, is the obvious lack of notice taken by site management, whether it be Natural England, Nottinghamshire County Council or the RSPB, in their complete disregard towards recommendations contained within the report, for maintaining habitat suitable for Cryptocephalus coryli. It hardly does much for encouragement and you have to wonder what the point is of any report, if recommendations are ignored.

Updated for the first time in seven years, this latest (and probably last) edition of the Sherwood Forest Invertebrate Directory, brings together the Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve's invertebrate records from the 1800's to 2020.

It features the reserve's Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Hempitera, Diptera and Arachnida records up to the end of 2020 and for the first time includes the site's Myriapod and Isopod records.

This is a large file, consisting of approximately 462 pages, but it's another unique publication which has taken months to prepare and update.

Published October 28th 2021

This is a brand new publication, collated and produced for the first time in October 2021, bringing together the known records of these traditionally very poorly studied Orders.

It features all the Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve's Centipede, Millipede and Woodlice records up to the end of 2020.

The last of the Sherwood Forest species list updates is published, with the first update to the species list in seven years.

All recent records recieved since the previous update are listed, including all the known/published records for the Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve up to the end of 2020. Despite very little recording taking place since the last list was published, the updated list does include a number of new species for the reserve.

New records are included from a variety of sources, namely the Birklands and Bilhaugh SSSI & Birklands West and Ollerton Corner SSSI Saproxylic invertebrate survey, carried out by the Natural England Field Unit of April-October 2018, plus the records of Paul and Helen Brock and John and Denise Bingham from their visit to the forest in 2018. Several new contributors, have their personal records listed for the first time.
