There were moths, and plenty of them, but sadly nothing spectacular. The first Nettle Tap (Anthophila fabriciana) of the year. One slightly odd and oversized Flounced Rustic, picture below, did have me checking photos. It has white underwings, and was just within the top range quoted for Flounced Rustic, Let me know if I got it wrong!
