The year 2003 will be remembered as one of the best years ever. Not only
was the total moth catch up, but also more species were caught on the reserve
than ever before.
January held no surprises, with twenty-one moths caught of seven species. Three species of moth that over winter as adults came to the lights; the Chestnut, Dark Chestnut, and Satellite.
The highest ever Pitsford
totals of moths for February, consisted of eight species, with 151 moths caught
in total. Pale Brindled Beauty totalled fifty- one, but only four of these were
the dark form f.monacharia.
March gave us another
record for total moths caught, with 753 taken. The bulk of the catch consisted
of Hebrew Character, Common, and Small Quaker, and Clouded Drab.
During April things start
to wake up. Again it was the best month on record for both numbers and species,
beating previous bests with 650 and 37 respectively. Four Brindled Beauty and
only one Lunar Marbled Brown were low counts, but the first migrant of the
year, a Dark Sword Grass came to trap one on the 29th
.
As always happens a dip in
the number of moths coming to the traps occurs in May. Nothing of major
significance came to either trap, but a day flying moth survey was started on
the meadows, between the causeway and the feeding station. This produced, on
26th, the first new record for the reserve; Small Yellow Underwing. A moth that
is classed as scarce in the county. Its larval food plant, Common Mouse-ear
occurring commonly close to the old road. Several could be seen flying at once
in the hot sunshine and egg laying was observed. The second new record was a
May Highflyer, found beside the main path in the Walgrave arm. It is not
surprising it was found here, as its larval food plant is Alder.
June saw three new records
for the reserve. The day flying moth survey turned up the first two, with Marsh
Pug on the 2nd (a moth of unspoilt grass-land) and Six-spot Burnet on the 16th.
The latter feeding in very large numbers on Knapweed with the very similar
Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet. The last new record for the month was a very
good one indeed. In trap one on the morning of the 22nd amongst a huge catch
was a Red-necked Footman. This is a species that sometimes migrates and is
thought to be expanding its range. Its larval food plants are lichens on trees.
There has only been one previous record of this moth in the county, caught on
the
Records kept falling during
August. This time smashing the previous best set in 2000 by 1399 moths. A new
record of 8953 individual moths in one-month shows how good 2003 has been for
moths. The bulk of the catch was made up of five species, Common wainscot had a
huge increase in numbers, with Large Yellow Underwing, Lesser Broad bordered
Yellow Underwing, Setaceous Hebrew Character, and Square spot Rustic, also
showing increases in numbers. Evidence of a large influx of migrants in to the
country, was provided by the next two new records for the reserve. The first
was seen on the 1st, feeding on nectar from the flowers in the tubs outside the
lodge, and was one of three Hummingbird Hawkmoths to be seen during the month.
The second was caught on the night of the 15th. This was taken during a visit
from the Northants Moth Group, in the Cover and was a Bordered Straw, large
numbers of both species turned up in other counties. Other scarce species taken
during the month included the only record this year of Maidens Blush, and the second
White line Dart on the 21st.
September sees the
emergence of the more brightly colored autumnal species. Black Rustic,
Pink-barred Sallow, and Sallow, all having a good year, but only one Mallow
record shows that there is no larval food plant recorded on the reserve.
The mild weather
continued in to October. Juniper Carpet appears in trap two despite being
absent last year, and the first of only two Large Wainscot appeared on the
14th.
The good run of
records carries on in to November, with old records being broken. Both number,
and species caught records falling. The thirty-one species and 395 moths caught
completely decimating the previous years totals. A Figure of Eight on the 5th
was a new reserve record, bringing the reserve macro moth list up to a healthy
355. This moth is deemed common within Northants but has declined in resent
years.
Things should quieten down during December, but as in the other months the start of the month was very mild. This resulted in good numbers of moths coming to the traps. The firsts five nights catches combined for both traps was 98 moths. By the end of the month 134 moths had been caught, of seven different species breaking yet another record for this month.
Species in bold type are new for 2003.
