Are beachgoers driving our wildlife away? As five more seabird species are placed on the red list, conservations are concerned that recreational pressures are driving them away - @KentWildlife https://c-js.uk/4cNBE57

Have just received confirmation that this moth was indeed a male Isophrictis anthemidella (thanks to det by Patrick Clement). Taken on beach at Sandwich Bay on 17th July 2024. The only site in the UK that the species has been recorded!
