My first Small Fan-foot since 2006 was the highlight of a reasonable catch overnight - 157 moths of 53 species. It seems rather strange that a moth that is apparently reasonably common in the county is so rare locally. Green Silver-lines, Poplar Grey, Dog's Tooth and Silver Y were all new for the year.

An even busier night with 243 moths of 66 species across the 2 traps. 20 species were new for the year including several that didn't show up last year and one new species was added to the garden list - Pammene aurana.
