Hi,  The Forester Moths are out on Odiham Common ! Friday afternoon I found five males in three of the southern meadows walking from the underpass to Colt Hill Wharf towards Bagwell lane, to the east of London road.
The Ragged Robin is very weather beaten but some moths were on it near Bagwell lane and others were on Knap weed, which is just coming into flower. If you haven't seen one before Forester moths are day flying metallic green / blue moths. This is only one of two sites in Hampshire where they occur and they are brilliant to look at.
