Catch Report - Sunday 06th Septmber 2009

Well it was all worth it.
After waking up at the crack of dawn again at 6am, tired and bleary eyed I was stunned to find a tiny little Small Wainscot in
the trap, a Moth that here in Essex is listed as Scarce but probably expanding its range.
Also only my second ever Frosted Orange,
being a mint example compared to last year's tatty individual.
Another White-point and a strange Burnished Brass which was more metallic one side than the other, a slight aberration methinks.
