A reasonable night with six NFY and 52 moths of 29 species. Highlights were the third White Spot of the year, a stunning Netted Pug, and  Dusky Hook-tip, a rare immigrant, that disappeared as I started to set it up for a photograph and then appeared on the window as it was getting dark, and allowed a quick snap in the twilight.
