Smell the roses

A short walk (that took a long time!) around the dunes at Ynyslas on Tuesday evening. I was pleased to see Shaded Pug (2), but most noticeable were rose feeders: around 150 Acleris bergmanniana in the slacks and along the side of the golf course, and Notocelia roborana (1) and Hedya ochroleucana (c20).

Other highlights included Eucosma campoliliana (c10), Caloptilia stigmatella (1), Crescent Plume (c20), Cydia microgrammana (c10)  and the off-puttingly named Celypha cespitana (1).
