More new species for Gors Road
I spent a few minutes looking hard at the Lead and July Belle illustrations before I realised the subtle lines of colour and hooked forewing tips meant it was something else.
Shaded Broad Bar.

I also spent a lot of time staring at illustrations of Tortrixes before I looked elsewhere and managed to identify this handsomely marked micro.
Carcina quercana

Not seen a Shaded broad bar yet up this way (North). Only one Yellow Shell so far as well! Very different to my old Ox15 post code. The photos of your Small Rufous and quercana are certainly picking out the reds, I can't recall seeing a quercana with such colour - must have just emerged.
ReplyDeleteProbably my post-processing, although online pictures look lovely
