Species List for 10/09/2021

 Still three species dominate, but there were a coupe of  surprises, the second Scarce Silver-lines for the year and the site and the second White-spec for the site, a moth that can be the commonest when mothing on the Scilly Isles. In total there were 703 moths of  49 species, a decline in diversity probably reflecting the change in weather, especially the temperature.
