Broughton Down

Weekends are to be planned carefully at the moment. The number of people descending on the New Forest, and coast on sunny weekends is quite incredible, so trips to more obscure areas is a better option. I headed to Broughton Down on Sunday morning hoping to see Stripe Winged Grasshopper.

Was fortunate, even though the bat detector was only picking up ( I think) Meadow, Common Green, and possibly Long winged Conehead.

Also a smart micro moth, Pyrausta nigrata
