Early October catches Hollesley

No ideal moth nights but regular autumn species and one or two of interest. Still no Red-green Carpet but do have a number of Common Marbled, Grey Pine and Pine Carpets. Autumnal Acleris by way of variegana and rhombana. A newly emerged third brood Shuttle-shaped Dart and a Scarce Bordered Straw. I took one of these last year too, perhaps more to come? Beaded Chestnut is threatening to take the top spot of the Large Yellow Underwing and that would be very welcome. Had a nice ab. flavescens of the Sallow too.
