5th August 2021 Unst S3 Overcast

Mike has kindly lent us a moth trap that provided the highlight of the day being a fresh Bedstraw Hawk-Moth - having never seen one before it was the very moth we most-hoped to trap!

Glen kindly put it into Shetland context telling us it has been recorded 22 years out of the last 30 with the best year with 23 records (1998) and second best 11 records.
