Species List for 12/10/2020

 Only two traps run, the two Robinsons on a foul, wet night. Just 22 moths of  11 species, but one NFY, a Grey Shoulder-knot. This was only the fourth I have caught. I have now have two spring and two autumn records as the adults emerge in September and October, and overwinter, appearing again from February to April.
