Autumn in full swing

With the leaves starting to fall, misty cool mornings and a brisk wind the season has well and truly turned now with Square-spot Rustics finished and Large Yellow Underwings and Lunar Underwings on the edge things are going quiet from now until next April eek!
But fear not, I have had some moths visit the trap as of late.
2 pretty Red-green Carpets were year firsts having not seen any earlier on in the year and preferring the wall to the trap, and 3 fresh Chestnuts showing variation.
