Photo: P Waring car park at Wootton Bridge. Some of the species seen on Hinchelsea Moor were encountered again on these sites, and these are included in the accompanying table of results. The Hare & Hounds pub and Forest Heath Hotel in Sway provided evening meals and other refreshments and another small group ate camp food under the trees at Set Thorns. When we regrouped at hours light traps were set up at selected spots at both ends of Hinchelsea Moor (Hl-5) (several traps between SU269004 & SU277006), at Avon Water by Set Thorns Inclosure (one Robinson trap at SZ265988), at Avon Water by Wootton Inclosure (one actinic) and inside the eastern edge of this Inclosure (SZ246995) (), further up the same bog, opposite Wilverley Inclosure (SU243001), at the south end of Goatspen Plain both on the bog on the east side of the road to Burley and on the bank of mature heather on the west side (SU231011), and on Cranes Moor (several lights in SU1803 & SU1804). Over twenty light traps were in use in all. Unfortunately, the cloud cover we endured during the afternoon had broken up by dusk and the night turned cold and misty. Driving from one group of trappers to another after dark was quite challenging as banks of mist rolled across the healhland and we strained to follow the roads and tracks. We expected to see the Hound of the Baskervilles leap into the headlight beams at any minute! Perhaps similar difficulties of navigation explain why a fresh male light crimson underwing Caloaila and a festoon Apocia limacodcs ended up at traps on the open healhland at Goatspen Plain, instead of remaining in their breeding grounds in oak woodland. In general the light-trap catches were small as a result of the unfavourable weather, but. Please note that these images are extracted
