Stormy night!

Despite the wind and rain I left a trap out last night. Surely there must be a migrant or two? And there were – literally, two. A vestal (brown striped form) and a dark sword-grass. Being ten miles from the coast means I usually get a diluted taste of a good moth migration!

Other species worth mentioning last night included merveille-du-jour (which has been flying for a week here), large ranunculus, l-album wainscot, black rustic (a good year for this species) and a couple of dark chestnut (which is much commoner here in autumn than chestnut – the reverse is true in the spring).
