What a change in catch, the conditions were absolutely perfect, mild all night with slight drizzle but it was windy which I thought might put the Moths off from flying, not a chance! good amounts including (I think) my first ever Dark Chestnut, which has now been confirmed, I have now completed my Chestnut/Dark Chestnut write-up whch hopefully should aid identification for myself and others.
