Early doors for a Brick

A very early Brick was the highlight of my garden catch on the 26th of August here in East Cambs, earliest for me by 19 days! 

It is also only my 2nd garden record, a once common moth that is seemingly becoming scarcer in recent times (Dot Moth & Gothic i'm looking at you as well).

 

There was one another new for the year species, a rather smartly-coloured Epinotia nisella, a highly variable moth.

 

Agonopterix arenella & Plutella porrectella were returning species after a few months absense. 

 

A Niditinea species was retained.

 

Moth garden list for 2025 stands at 627 species
