A better night under cloudy skies

A better catch last night and a few more species ticked off for the year, Beaded Chestnut being right on cue, the past 3 Autumns have seen it arrive on the 29th, 23rd and now the 23rd of September again. 2012's first record was in November as a comparison.

The Black Rustic is always a favourite of mine and a nice fresh one to photograph this time.

Spruce Carpet was a seasonal first, it being only my second record all year of this species.
