GMS trapping proves very successful

A great haul for my latest GMS 'Garden Moth Scheme' contribution with some lovely Autumn species turning up now, not in huge numbers like the Summer species but very welcome indeed where the colour has been predominantly brown for the past 3 weeks or so.
Orange Sallow was a second garden record and Brindled Green I didn't see at all last year. 
The night was blooming cold and I did not expect this many moths.

Photography was a bit of a disaster, for starters the other form of Acleris variegana just went skywards before I could take the picture and the Acleris sparsana is just plain nuts and won't settle down, so photo of that later!

47 moths of  20 species.
