Bits and bobs from Back garden and Parents farm

Just a quick update, had a walk around the garden and also the farm and found some more new species for the year.
I am struggling with the 2 Mompha species found in my garden, they are probably just Mompha subbistrigella, but one is very colourful for that particular species.

I shall be back up there tonight with the Herts moth group.
