Cornwall Moth Group Newsletter No.3 - November 2003 Cornwall Moth Group Newsletter No.3 - November 2003 Welcome to our third newsletter. It's been a busy year for the moth group, with lots of surveys and events. Of course the year's not even over yet. There are still a few brave moths about, and it is possible to record in every month throughout the year so don't put your traps away for the winter - who knows what you might be in your box for Christmas! Jayne Herbert (Webmaster and newsletter editor) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Assistant County Recorders Report What an eventful year so far with Humming-bird Hawk moths and Convolvulus Hawks 'coming out of our ears' so to speak! I have been amazed at the different forms of the larvae of the Convolvulus Hawk that have been reported to me. Some examples are shown below along with a report from Brian Laney a copy of which follows – many thanks Brian, for your detailed observations: Convolvulus Hawk-moth larva Red Underwing - Catocala nupta (Linn.)

    entomologische berichten 149 76 (4) 2016 Korte mededeling Glyphipterix haworthana (Lepidoptera: Glyphipterigidae), een bestanddeel van de Nederlandse fauna? In het voorjaar van 2014 heb ik mij bezig- gehouden met het op naam brengen van microvlinders in de voormalige collectie van het Zoölogisch Museum van Amster- dam, thans Naturalis Biodiversity Center. Ik stuitte op tal van opmerkelijke vond- sten, onder meer uit de oude collectie van Pier Aukema, uit Zaandam (Noord- Holland). Eén exemplaar uit de collectie bleek te behoren tot de nog niet eerder uit Nederland gemelde Glyphipterix ha- worthana (Stephens) (figuur 1). Het dier werd op 13 mei 1974 verzameld en is waarschijnlijk een zwerver afkomstig uit het Oostzanerveld (J. Stuurman-Huitema persoonlijke mededeling). Grote delen van dit veengebied zijn in de tweede helft van de 20e eeuw ontgonnen. Het genus Glyphipterix is in ons land vertegenwoordigd door vijf soorten, waarvan er slechts twee algemeen zijn: G. simpliciella (Stephens) en G. thrasonella (Scopoli). Alle soorten leven als rups in de bloeiwijzen of vruchten van graminoï- den. Glyphipterix simpliciella is als rups vrij 1. Glyphipterix haworthana, Zaandam, Noord-Holland, 13.v.1974, leg. P.

  • Botolph's Bridge, Hythe Redoubt, Hythe Ranges West And
    Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR13 G (Botolph’s Bridge, Hythe Redoubt, Hythe Ranges West, and Nickolls Quarry) The tetrad TR13 G contains a number of major local hotspots, with Nickolls Quarry, the Botolph’s Bridge area and part of Hythe Ranges located within its boundaries. As a consequence the tetrad has the richest diversity of breeding birds in the local area, with 71 species having a status of at least possible in the latest BTO Atlas survey. It also had the highest total of species (125) in the winter Atlas survey. Sadly a major housing development is now in progress at the Nickolls Quarry site and much of the best habitat is now being disturbed or lost. Nickolls Quarry has been watched since the late 1940s, though early coverage was patchy, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. As a working quarry the site has undergone significant changes during this time, expanding from two small pits to a much larger area of open water, some of which has since been backfilled. During 2001 to 2004 a series of shallow pools were created which proved particularly attractive to waders. Nickolls Quarry in 1952 Nickolls Quarry in 1998 Looking roughly northwards across the 'old pit' Looking south-west across the site towards the Hythe Roughs towards Dungeness Although a major housing development is underway on the site it still contains some interesting habitats. The lake is easily the largest area of open water in the local area and so remains one of the best areas for wildfowl, particularly during cold weather, for example in December 2010 when there were peak counts of 170 Wigeon, 107 Coot, 104 Pochard, 100 Teal, 53 Tufted Duck, 34 Gadwall, 18 Mute Swan, 12 Pintail, 10 Bewick’s Swan, 8 Shoveler, singles of Goldeneye and Goosander, and 300 White-fronted Geese flew over.

PL13 2PD A single wind turbine of max 77m to tip along with Proposal: associated infrastructure including an access track and electrical housing. Parish: Lanreath Applicant: Mr A J Venning Target date for decision: 13 th October 2014 Reason for application At the request of the Divisional Member due to concerns being called to Committee: about impact on the surrounding landscape. Departure: No Electoral Division: Trelawny Electoral Division Member: Jim Candy Case Officer Mr Ellis Crompton-Brown http://planning.cornwall.gov.uk/online- Link to view documents: applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&k eyVal=NACR36FGJAO00 RECOMMENDATION: Approval subject to conditions. Summary: The application consists of the erection of a single 77m wind turbine which would be constructed in an agricultural field. The turbine would have a maximum generating capacity of 0.5 Megawatts (MW). Ancillary development associated with the turbine would include the provision of a temporary access track and switchgear housing. The main issues concerning this application are i) the impact of the development on landscape character and the appearance of the surrounding area, and ii) the extent to which the proposal would have a detrimental impact on the amenities currently enjoyed by the occupiers of nearby residential properties. The proposed turbine would make a positive contribution toward the generation of renewable energy as endorsed in planning policy and there are not considered to be sustainable grounds for refusal based on ecology, landscape, neighbour impact or archaeology.

After the hottest April on record we were plunged into a drab and dreary May, with about average temperatures but little sunshine by day and lots of clear cold nights – the worst combination for moth enthusiasts. In spite of all this, there are some very exciting sightings to report in this issue of the newsletter. We, along with the whole coastline of southern and south-eastern England, recently received an astonishing influx of Itame brunneata Rannoch Looper. This is a rare migrant everywhere in Britain apart from central Scotland, where it is resident. There was a ‘massive’ arrival of Rannoch Loopers in 2009 (detailed in Atropos 40) and another such immigration took place at the beginning of June this year. Huge numbers of moths must have been involved as simultaneous captures took place from Suffolk to Cornwall on the night of 3rd June, with one lucky recorder on the Essex coast catching 10!!! Astonishing, when you consider that fewer than 50 migrant Rannoch Loopers had ever been caught in Britain prior to 2009. Devon records that we know of to date include two in Barry Henwood’s garden trap Rannoch Looper (Roy McCormick) in Abbotskerswell on 3rd June, one caught by John Walters near Buckfastleigh on 5th June and one by a new member Bill Hudson in Newton Abbot also on 5th June (shown in image).
