Hardly qualifies as the northern French woodlands emptying of moths but singles of White-barred Knot-horn E. similella, Maiden's Blush and Green Oak Tortrix T. viridana from the Obs moth-traps were evidence of a little cross-Channel movement last night pic.twitter.com/x1obIliLp8

...and another Green Oak Tortrix from last night - this one from @JodiemHenderson's moth-trap at the Obs - seems like we were only on the periphery of their movement but quite intriguing to think that vast numbers must have been swept across the Channel during last night's storm pic.twitter.com/IOixY3C1We
