Cool breezy and quiet

Not great here last night in my garden, despite fairly decent lows of 8.6c, the breeze wasn't welcome and knocked the night on the head really.

But, there was one new species for the year amongst the paltry 5 moths that did show their faces.

A nice Acleris literana was only the 4th garden record, and the two Lunar Marbled Browns are far from common moths here, being the single new for year.

A little bit cool now for a few days then we should be getting some warmth once more. 

Moth garden list for 2026 stands at 62 species
