Two new moths for me over the last few days and both turned out to be just the second records for Islay.
This is a grass rivulet spotted by my wife at Kintra dunes on The Oa and only recorded once before on Islay in 1961.
This is arran carpet, again only recorded once before on Islay in 1979. This came to a light trap on the RSPB Oa reserve the night before last. Thanks to Roy Leverton for verifying the identification of this tricky species.
