The highlights among these are probably Pale Pinion and a very attractively-marked Acleris cristana.

Cwmpalis last week
My parents spent most of last week in a cottage at Cwmpalis (SN2919) - a lovely sheltered spot with mature broadleaved woodland nearby, between St Clears and Meidrim. My dad ran two 6W traps each night and ended up with a decent list (given the generally cool and/or windy conditions) of 15 species. I joined them for the weekend and got to see a few of these before the wintery weather returned with a bang! This nice little montage was put together by my dad for the owner, who lives next door and is interested in wildlife.
The highlights among these are probably Pale Pinion and a very attractively-marked Acleris cristana.
I'm not sure how well recorded the hectad SN21 is, but hopefully at least something among these will be new for the square.
