An improvement in numbers

More than I expected this morning in and around the trap with a total of 23 moths of 11 species, not bad at all for my garden this time of year.
The only species new for the year were four November moth species. Still No Merveille du Jour, Mallow or Dark Chestnut and I expect Mottled Umber and Sprawler in a week or two.
 
The cloudy nights are still paying dividends it seems, I may try again on Tuesday night.
