A rather average catch on Sunday night, which has allowed me to catch up a bit (And also what with the god awful weather we have had this past 24hrs).
20 species is about average for the time of year for my garden, rising to around double that in just two weeks time normally, we'll see!
Best moths were two new for year species, the migrant Rush Veneer (Nomophila noctuella) & two Ringed China-marks (Parapoynx stratiotata) the former uncommon here, in fact I dipped on this species last year, but the latter species is very common here, usually numbering in the 50's for the year.
Photos were challenging to say the least, in the bright sunshine and brisk breeze.
