Things have got away from me a bit, it's been hard to keep up with listing all the moths once more, so here are two back-to-back catches from Friday and Saturday night with just nthe new species listed.
Both were warmish nights but breezy and with clearing skies once more, things haven't really settled down just yet.
Friday night saw 6 newbies added to the running tally, and Saturday night yielded a further 4 year ticks.
Best moths included a mint Shears (not a commn moth in my garden) a Dark Spectacle, and amongst several Silver Y and Plutella xylostella on Saturday night was a White-point.
Not bad at all, but generally species and numbers did drop over the weekend due to the overnight conditions, and micros have been virtually non-existent.
Rain rain and more rain now, so I and the moths deserve a night off.
