Another decent migrant for my inland garden

A cracking Scarce Bordered Straw was a welcome year tick here in my east Cambs garden on Friday night.

A tatty Dark Sword-grass and 2 Udea ferrugalis made up the rest of the migrants.

 

There were less moths about than of recent nights, so a list wasn't written down.

 

A second new for year species was a single November Moth, checked today. Since then I have recorded many November Moth on each subsequent night, they don't seem to mind the cooler nights i've found, I guess they are very aptly named! 

A second Chestnut of the season was also welcome, and a late Pyralis farinalis.

Moth garden list for 2023 stands at 635 species
