27 June 2015 - Greatstone, Kent

Inspired by folk at Rye Harbour catching Shore Wainscot, I thought I'd try along the coastal sand dunes for a short mothing session - the aim was to moff, pack-up and be back home in time to gate-crash a friends party...

The plan nearly worked... First three moths were two Shore Wainscot and a Sand Dart. I kept going...Rosy Waves, Gallium Carpets, White Spot, Small Mottled Willow...I kept going. A Cabbage Moth convinced me to pack up.

On the road by midnight, broke down (the car, not me) half way to Ashford, mechanic arrived at 2am Sunday morning and I was relayed back home by 3.30am. Decided not in the right mood to gate-crash the party...

As for the Cabbage Moth? I eventually re-ID'd it with grateful help - a White Colon!
