Goodbye summertime

Clocks going back, gales on the way, and I think the season is about done. Nice day yesterday – a tortoiseshell on the wing in the garden. Last night was mild and part-cloudy, wind southerly-ish. Should have been good, but was a bit disappointing. A few interesting things – eg l-album wainscot, grey pine carpet and a bright-line brown-eye, and a dark bush cricket (had a long-winged conehead a couple of weeks ago). Migrants included rush veneer, white-point, silver y. Not the most exciting night, and it’s going to get much quieter soon. But it’s hard to resist putting a trap on when conditions are favourable.
