A day later, and another newbie for the garden moth list, Shoulder Stripe makes it no.686.
Another very good night with 22 moths noted of the same amount of species than the previous night, but with nearly half of them different ones!
Backing up the excellent new garden record of Shoulder Stripe, were new for year Early Grey, Engrailed and Lead-coloured Drab.
Other highlights included some nice forms of Clouded Drab and Small Quaker.
Leslie my moth friend just around the corner took a walk around Fordham Woods last night, which is just around the corner from me (But in the opposite direction to my trap north). He netted a pristine Water Carpet, a moth that is yet to venture into my garden.
