Last night (10th October) was clearer than forecast but still resulted in an excellent range of autumn moths including Blair’s Shoulder-knot (3), Dark Chestnut, Chestnut, Brown-spot Pinion, Red-line Quaker, Yellow-line Quaker, Black Rustic, Green-brindled Crescent, Satellite (2), Pink-barred Sallow and Common Wainscot. 17 macro species in total with Lunar Underwing (10) the commonest moth, just beating Beaded Chestnut (8).
The 8th of October produced a completely different range of species with Setaceous Hebrew Character finally beating Barred Sallow (9-7) into top spot (no SHCs on the 10th). I finally caught a Mallow: not a great surprise as we have a garden full of Hollyhocks but it was my first record. Other species included White-point, Brimstone Moth, Frosted Orange, another Orange Sallow and a late Small Square-spot.
