Species List for 09/10/2021

A foggy damp night, so i wasn't surprised in the drop in numbers ans a species. there were 139 moths of 23 species and two NFY. The Grey Shoulder-knot was my fifth, and the third in autumn, the two others were in spring, as it is a moth that over-winters as an adult. The Radford's Flame Shoulder is the second here, the first was on the 23rd October last year.
