We visited in the evening and found both Light and Dark Crimson Underwing. I also saw LCU feeding at 10am.
There are no obvious sap runs but the tree appears under stress
Night of 11/7, 97sp including Bordered Straw, Splendid Brocade and Argolamprotes micella, the later, previously had less than 10 Kent records, in the last 2 weeks, at 4 separate sites in the greater Orlestone area have had it.
