Still pretty dismal

Another slow night on Thursday night, in fact the weather was so bad yesterday evening with a horrible wind that I didn't even bother last night.

Luckily on Thursday night, 2 new species were present. A lovely Coronet that blended in well with the lichen on the patio slabs, and the twitchy Tinea trinotella, a nightmare of a genus to photograph as they rarely sit still.

The most numerous was Platyedra subcinerea which feeds on Mallow, a species of plant that grows in our alleway, and of which I just weeded and mowed round.
