8th August 2007 and 13th August 2011 - Garden Dart

Garden Dart is a species that has become far less common throughout the UK. There were no known records from vice counties 86, 87 and 99 since 1996 until Stan Campbell re-examined some of his photographs. With the help of Roy Leverton, He discovered that a moth photographed in Renton, Dunbartonshire on 8^th August, 2007 was a Garden Dart. This year there has been a record from the other end of the region.  Bob and Helen Dawson caught one in their garden in Fallin, Stirlingshire on 13^th August.
