FlyinginFordham: Another amazing night

Following on from Saturday night, Sunday night was just as good here in my garden, considering that I didn't have time for any dusk netting (as I went out for the night).

It was great to see the return of some fresh common species, namely a pin perfect Common Carpet and Turnip Moth.

Figure of Eighty isn't a common visitor to my garden so it was super to get one of those as well.

Other highlights included the palest Nutmeg i've ever taken, which almost looks like its descended from Desert habitus, and the lovely lumpy bumpy Phtheochroa rugosana which would not sit still for a photo, so a semi-blurry shot had to suffice.

Cooler nights are still around as the surface temperature hsn't warmed up yet, coupled with mostly clear skies here, it's still dropping to between 7 and 10c.

Moth garden list for 2024 stands at 131 species
