Brindled Beauty Moth no.34 for 2019 as March comes to an end

A chilly night last night and down 3c, it didn't take long to count 12 moths, but... it only takes one moth to make it all worthwhile.
There was very little in or around the trap, but peering through the perspex I spotted a familiar moth..a stunning Brindled Beauty.
This moth is quite special to me for two reasons. The first, it's only the 4th garden record (With 1 last year and 2 in 2017). The second, the two in 2017 were my first of this species since beginning the mothing journey that started in 2006.

Garden species count for 2019 now upto 35.
