Weather Woes

Absolutely terrible weather lately, a cool clear or misty nights, rain, rain, more rain, and then some more rain for good measure.

Did I mention the wind as well? It's been so bad, I didn't even light up last night (Although a moth was sat on the french door, attracted to the lit window, a bonus new Buff Ermine)

 

Wednesday night was rather uninspiring with less moths than was hoped, but all certainly wasn't lost with 3 new species and a rather dashingly coloured Coronet.

Just waiting on a better night now..

Moth garden list for 2024 stands at 250 species
