The amount of moths was slightly disappointing between 4 traps initially (they should have been piling in given the conditions!), but on inspection of the last trap (mine) we were rewarded with Dotted Chestnut, L-album Wainscot and 4 Autumnal Rustic's, the two latter species being a first for me.
Other species of note were Rusty Dot Pearl, Agonopterix ocellana, Pink-barred Sallow and countless Acleris emargana.
I think we ended up with 20 species of Macro and about 10 species of Micro.
Full list will be added in due course....here are some pictures.
