Another good catch after a night off

I had a much deserved night off on Tuesday, as it was set to get a little cool under clearing skies.

 

So it was back to business on the 14th, and with a warmer day and a slightly warmer night (at 10 degrees minimum) it had to be worth a shout.

I'm glad I ran it, as I got a real brute of a wetland pyralid, the cool looking Schoenobius gigantella, a welcome male and new for the garden.

A few other species also boosted the year list, but numbers were generally half what they were on the warm Monday night, to be expected I suppose.

Only new for year species listed below.
