 Four traps, a 125W Robinson in the Back Garden, a 125W MV Robinson in the Pond Garden, a 15W Actinic in the Front Garden, and a 80W MV Skinner in the Greenhouse Garden. A warm, overcast night, with a min temp of around 17 deg C and a WSW breeze of 8-10 mph. There were 559 moths (inc 272 Large Yellow[-underwings)  of 56 species and three NFY. The Caloptilia honoratella  identified using Obsidentify and Lepiforum photos will not be submitted as it will not satisfy recording as no GenDet. The Passenger was my second after one in 2006, anther year with multiple records of this previous mega rarity.
