Trying for the later clearwings I had lures out for Yellow-legged, Currant and then Raspberry Clearwings.
So far, no, currant and only one Yellow-legged, after the loads of orange-tailed to that lure. The Raspberry lure brought in 9 moths one day and seven another, so looks like they are doing ok around here.

Numbers in the moth trap have dropped considerably but there have still been some nice moths, including Gypsy moth, several Jersey Tigers, Twin-spot, a second Light Crimson Underwing, Elephant and Poplar Hawkmoths and a first for the garden, a Garden Tiger.

Around Dungeness there is a family of foxes which are very tame, probably due to being fed by many of the visitors. We also hade at least 4 Clouded Yellow Butterflies in front of the power station but couldn’t find the reported Helice variety.
