Early riser's

And not just me getting up early, the moths were too infact when I went out to the trap this morning at 7am it was just starting to get light...just checking around the trap and 2 moths just literally came in! I have had this happen befoe whe out in the field with a few moths briefly flying again at dawn but never in the garden.
A few different species were observed and the Brick and Turnip moth that flew i at 7am were both garden seconds for the year.
Red-line Quaker was added to the year list.
