latistria


White-streaked Grass-moth Agriphila latistria. I've not trapped this species before but saw one that Nick trapped in Budleigh on 31/8/19. Also of interest last night - at least 29 Portland Ribbon Waves, 4 Rusty Dot Pearl, 3 Rush Veneer, 1 Dark Sword-grass, 3 White-point, 3 Golden-rod Pug, 1 Toadflax Pug, 1 Scalloped Hook-tip and 1 Bordered Sallow amongst the more regular species.

Quiet again on the bird front with just 1 Willow Warbler, 1 Grey Heron and 2 Mute Swans recorded on Orcombe. Off Shelly Beach - 42 Sandwich Terns and 5 Mediterranean Gulls. Nearby the 5cy Yellow-legged Gull again in the recycling centre and off Mudbank - 4 Ringed Plovers, 8 Whimbrel, 1 Bar-tailed Godwit and a juvenile/fw Mediterranean Gull on a brief 'dropping tide' visit.
