2 – 7 May 2019

A holiday dedicated to -trapping! As far as we´re aware this was a first! This inaugural trip was ably guided by leading Andalusian moth expert Dave Grundy, who showed our team of six UK moth enthusiasts just how fantastic trapping can be in the varied at the gateway to Africa. Using a combination of 125 watt mercury vapour, 15 watt actinic and 2 watt LED Skinner traps in locations including Cork woodlands, Mediterranean scrub, and pristine sand dunes, the group encountered over 2300 individual representing 230 different . Trapping in an area where mothing is relatively uncommon, the group were able to visit some sites never before trapped and contribute to moth-ology in Andalucía by adding new species to the area list, such as Euxoa oranaria and Nematopogon stenochlora. There were some fascinating moth-y highlights such as seeing 105 species in the Punta Paloma sand dunes, including such star moths as Giant Peacock and Spurge Hawk-moth! All of this was coupled with perfect weather in relaxing surroundings, where our tour participants were also able to enjoy a Spring avian migration spectacle at the nearby coast, seabirds and cetaceans on a boat trip into The Strait, and encounters with more fascinating wildlife of southern Andalusia simply by strolling round the forested grounds of our eco-lodge accommodation and the beautiful Spanish countryside nearby. On the first day of the trip, Dave gathered most of the group from the mid-morning flight into Gibraltar, bringing them the short distance to Huerta Grande eco-lodge, to meet up with those group members who had arrived pre-trip to do a little extra wildlife-watching in the area. After light lunch and some time to settle in, there were moth traps to go through that Dave had set up the previous night. We recorded 79 species on the first afternoon! We were thrilled to find an example of Nematopogon stenochlora - a rare longhorn micro-moth which was described for the first time in in the 1800s. There were no more records anywhere in the world until one was found at a nearby site in Andalusia in recent years! That’s what you call a rare international species! Also in the traps were 2 Lydd Beauties, the beautiful Gerinia honoraria and four Passenger Moths! While working the group had singing Iberian Chiff-chaffs, Melodious and Bonelli’s Warblers to accompany them as well as Crested Tits coming to the feeders at the centre. After dinner we headed out to set up traps for the evening, at Las Corzas, in the beautiful wooded hills of Los Alcornocales Natural Park, and up at the nearby Ornipark woodland nature reserve. We spent time the next morning going through our traps, IDing and photographing as we went. What a haul! We counted over 100 species of moth between the two locations. The group were particularly thrilled with the tiny shiny Micropterix ibericella and the rare Eriocottis andalusiella – which has only just been separated as a species from the very similar E. hispanica in the last couple of years. And throw in Dorset Cream and Portland Ribbon Waves and the stunning Lunar Double Stripe among larger species! As every day, Dave provided an excellent picnic lunch up at the reception area, and then after some downtime and dinner, we set out to put our traps out on the sand dunes of Punta Paloma. The number of times this site has been trapped can be counted on one hand, and the group were very excited to see what would be waiting the following morning. They weren´t to be disappointed! 105 species of moth awaited, including the Festoon look-alike, Hoyosia codeti, Giant Peacock and not one but four Spurge Hawk-moths! Also seen were 15 Speckled Footman and five of the very rare Euxoa oranaria. Added to the ones recorded in the Ornipark traps, we recorded a grand total of 140 species for the night! Absolutely amazing diversity. As well as trapping at the nearby Ornipark every night, the group visited Mediterranean scrub at Pinar del Rey and Arroyo San Carlos del Tiradero, which provided not only breath-taking scenic views of the area but some great new species, such as the stunning silvery-coloured China- mark moth that is Parapoynx stagnalis and the Lappet relative Phyllodesma kermesifolia, plus Oak Hawkmoth, Alchymist, Latin and Goldwing. As well as the chance of African moth wanderers reaching our traps, May is also a time of intense avian migratory action, as tens of thousands of raptors risk their lives to cross the narrow Strait of Gibraltar between and Africa. Later in the week Dave took the group to the nearby cliffs of Punta Carnero to witness this natural spectacle. The dramatic events of hundreds of soaring birds battling the wind to arrive on Europe´s shores has to be seen to be believed, and this group will not forget in a hurry as we had to stop the minibus for two exhausted Griffon Vultures in the middle of the road in front of us! Over 500 soaring birds made the crossing low over our heads, and the peril of the journey was truly brought to life by the sight of Griffon Vultures crash-landing into the sea, too exhausted to make land. A boat trip out into the Strait itself brought great views of around twenty Long-finned Pilot Whales in the 1,000 metre-deep central area, as well as views of a blow and subsequent dive of a superb Sperm Whale showing its huge fluke. We also had views of Bottlenose Dolphins and Scopoli’s Shearwaters as well as several Sandwich and a Black Tern. Several of the group stayed on before and after the main mothing event, to further enjoy the excellent wildlife-watching the area has to offer. We explored the salt pans of Barbate, where we enjoyed Kentish Plovers, Collared Pratincoles, Audouin´s Gulls, Caspian and Little Terns, a migrant Western Orphean Warbler and even a rare visitor in the form of a White-winged Black Tern. The nearby Northern Bald Ibis colony was a joy to visit, as was the Laguna de Medina where we connected with White-headed Ducks, Red-crested Pochards, Black-necked Grebes, Great Reed and Melodious Warblers.
