Description:

Bovingdon Brickworks - Hemel Hempstead - Field TripDavid, Steve and myself made a trip to Bovingdon Brickworks on Thursday night to see what we could attract to the lamps.The day had been perfect with sunny intervals, plenty of cloud cover and a high of 27 degrees. The forecast was for clear skies towards the evening and this was indeed the case.With a near full moon we were just hoping that it was warm enough for the moths to emerge and venture out from the undergrowth.Indeed it was! With the temperature staying relatively mild and the car sensor still reading 13 degrees at 2.30am.The catch was phenomenal, plenty of species, but what made it even better was the sheer amount of some species of moths, some numbering well over 40 individuals, so numbers below are as close as I could record.Highlight for me was my first Gypsonoma oppressana.4 Green Arches and 2 Purple Clays were also great additions.It was also fantastic to see so many Cinnabar's (24).It just goes to show how important this site is for wildlife and on this occasion, Moths!
