New for year moth and New form of a common moth!

23 moths was a huge improvement last night, after just 5 moths on Friday night, i'm not entirely sure where they came from, as at 10pm I had just a few March Moths before retiring to bed, it was also extremely nippy out and down to 4c this am.

Come the morning it was a pleasure to actually have a list to write!

Of note were good numbers of Common Quaker and March Moth and two moths that really stood out from the rest.

Dotted Border form f.fuscata, a first for me and a shame it had a bit of flight wear, still an unusual looking moth which could be another species almost!

Grey Shoulder-knot I was joking about really wanting to see on facebook yesterday night, and lo and behold one was sitting tucked under a fence panel.

Garden species count for 2019 now upto 20.
