Two more catches

Well I got my wish of just a common migrant, I got a Silver Y on Tuesday night, but unfortunately no rarities, never mind I was very happy to see two lovely little Caloptilia semifascia's, last year I only saw one post hibernation in April, but the two previos years I recorded them in Autumn.
Not much elese of note apart from another Tachystola acroxantha, the 4th for the year now and my latest records of Large Yellow Underwing, Common Marbled Carpet and Barred Sallow so far.....
The weather has been quite dramatic lately with strong SW winds and warm nights, on Sunday night the temperature didn't drop below 14 degrees!
