Another busy night with 934 moths of 70 species. As yesterday the majority were of two species - Setaceous Hebrew Character (344) and Water Veneer (233) - although there were very few other micros.

Gold Spot was new for the year with one in each of the traps, and a very battered Small Scallop was also nfy. A late Eyed Hawkmoth was a surprise as was a 2nd generation Cream-bordered Green Pea.
