Last night was a little cooler than of late, with lows dipping into single figures for the first time in nearly a week, and therefore the tally dropped a bit.
But it was still worth it for 4 new species overnight, and a bonus micro found sitting on the shed whilst I was checking my lure bucket traps.
The fourth Acleris literana was worthy of a mention, not usually a common moth here.
A bit cold at night now sadly, but we'll see.
