Species List for 04/7/2016

 After 16 years here I don't get many new species of moths for the Garden. A Dotted Rustic was new for me and appears to be reasonably uncommon for the county. Damn thing wouldn't stop vibrating, then when I'd settled it down it quite suddenly flew off straight out of the door! So I am not over impressed with my pictures, On the third picture you can just see the grey hind wing.
