Topic: The Druid (Aedia funesta)

Chris,

Can The Druid (Aedia funesta, (Esper, [1786])) please be added to the UKSI - see below which was extracted from Bird News today (10/07/2015) - a report of the first ever capture is available in Atropos Issue 53.

"With extremely warm weather and southerly winds creating 'Spanish plume' conditions across Britain and Ireland, it was no great surprise that it proved a fantastic week for migrant Lepidoptera.  Steve Nash trapped Britain's second record of The Druid (Aedia funesta) at Swanage, Dorset, overnight on 1st July 2015 and another was trapped in Southsea, Hants, the following night."

Cheers and thanks.
Steve
