A cooler night and slightly fewer moths. One new micro for the site, Agonopterix assimilella was one of 37 micro moths of 11 species. A Palpita vitrealis was an attractive migrant. There were 312 macro moths of 45 species, with Setaceous Hebrew Character the most numerous. In August I ran four traps on 27 nights (missing the Birdfair Thursday to Sunday) and caught 9619 moths (1839 micros and 7780 macros) an average of 356 per night! The five most common were; Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing (1076), Common Rustic (735), Flounced Rustic (730), Silver Y (609) and Agriphila tristella (382).
