Gorse Buff
DepressariidaeABH 32.029 B&F 705A gorse-feeder, recorded regularly at West Luccombe on Exmoor until 2000, and not unreasonable to suppose it might still occur in the area. Several more recent records from Burnham-on-Sea and Lympsham that are hard to interpret, and may represent migrants. Noted at Bickenhall in the Blackdowns in 1950, but not since in this area.
