Bumper night on the Ivy patch.

A very good number of moths on the Ivy clump close to the garden last night, so many thought it would be of interest to publish the whole list so it can be seen what is possible to find just using a torch searching the flowers.

Orange sallow-1
Sallow-1
Pink-barred sallow-2
Large yellow underwing – 8
Brindled green-1
Lesser yellow underwing-10
Square-spot rustic-10
Chestnut-30 (at least)
Red-green carpet-4
Angle shades-5
L-Album wainscot-4
Feathered ranunculus-1
Lunar underwing-4
Brick-1
E.monodactyla-1
Yellow shell-1
Black rustic-1
Oak nycteoline-1
Barred sallow-2

Again, probably more moths than I would have seen if I had run a trap as it was a bit breezy.
