annual migrant to southern coastal areas, but much rarer inland.
Nevertheless, it is still surprising that Nottinghamshire currently has
just the one record, attracted to MV light at Broadholme on September
8th 2011 (Gray,
M.). Our thanks go to Martin Gray, for kindly providing us with
his photograph.
A note on Broadholme records:
Broadholme is in vice county VC56 of Nottinghamshire (which is covered
by www.eakringbirds.com), but not in the administrative county of
Nottinghamshire on which the county's moth records are based by
the county macromoth recorder. As such, no Broadholme records appear in
any county reports, but they are officially recognised by Butterfly
Conservation as being Nottinghamshire records. |
