A New Moth for Wintersett 06.11.20

Eagle eyed Pete Smith spotted a moth, near the lights on the 'Wriggly Tin' building in the car park, at Anglers CP, this morning.   After procuring a ladder from the Visitor Centre he collected it to be photographed by A.Smith.   Harry Beaumont confirmed it was Acleris logiana. A new moth for this site!

Acleris logiana, the black-headed birch leaf folder moth or grey birch button, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Carl Alexander Clerck in 1759. It is found in most of Europe, except Ireland, Portugal, most of the Balkan Peninsula and Ukraine. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acleris_logiana
