2 Moth's on a blustery evening

Well i've never been so excited to see an Epiphyas postvittana before! Found on our french door to 125 MV, will leave it on for a little longer incase my target species of either Mottled Umber or Winter Moth appear (both will be new to my garden if so)

Edit: The trap was run for another hour and another Moth was found on the fence next to te trap, a garden first Pale Brindled Beauty and my first record for December (my previous earliest being 7th January).

Trap run from 4pm til 10pm
