Forester Adscita statices
(Linnaeus, 1758) ![](http://www.eakringbirds.com/eakringbirds5/textbanner04.jpg) |
Status
.....Relatively rare and uncommon in Nottinghamshire.
It was previously thought to be restricted to just two sites in the
Sherwood Forest area and spread to a number of other locations over the
next
few years and appeared to be on the increase. However, there have been
no records from anywhere in the county since 2018. |
