Note: this species usually breeds on the reservoir embankment along with Wren, Reed Bunting and Meadow Pipit. This year none have bred there I can only conclude that an infestation of Heather Beetle that has pretty much destroyed the heather on the embankment this year has meant that there has been very little food for them to feed their young. [Furthermore, I have trapped very few moths there this year.] Slippery Ford 11/08/18 number Three groups seen: a female with 4 juveniles, 2 juveniles, an adult male and female.
