Species List for 28/05/2022

 A disappointing catch of 81 moths of 33 species. Bordered Straw was the best of the bunch. Some compensation was having visitors, (Grandson Jack and two friends) down for the Eleonora's Falcon twitch. His two friends added a  few  new moths to their lists from the catch, which made it more fun.
