Another night of pouring rain ahd high winds, but still some moths arrived. A second Dewick's Plusia for the year, seven Delicates, two Silver Y's, and singles of  Scarce Bordered Straw, Rusty-dot Pearl and Diamond-back Moth were the migrants and a Blair's Shoulder-knot was NFY.

Species List for 26/9/2019

Just 52 moths of 15 species, but a Dewick's Plusia and two other NFY were good value. Other migrants were a Delicate and a Dark Sword Grass. The Dewick's Plusia was the second site record, I wonder if the Turnip mohs are possibly migrants.

Lunar Underwing

Species List for 27/10/2017

A clear night, with a drop in temperature brought a quieter night. I had, hopefully added my from garden 15W actinic to the mix, but it yielded just one Light Brown Apple Moth, the only one of the night. The highlight was a stunning Merveille du Jour and the first Green-brindled Crescent of the Autumn.
