Southerly winds bode well for migrants on Weds 23rd and Thurs 24th nights, this time in Llanelli. The 23rd yielded a scarce bordered straw, but the next night was more productive with a delicate, Palpita vitrealis, a diamond-back and multiple silver y`s. Less welcome were two box moths, one dark phase, the other the more usual white form.

Arfon Williams reports a recent capture of a Clifden nonpareil at his north Carmarthenshire home trap site. As mentioned previously, this magnificent moth is likely to be resident in Arfon`s home patch, given the number of records made by him.
