Mid-August? – more like September!

Just 46 species last night (Tuesday) on a prime site near the Waveney. Conditions were ideal with thick cloud, no wind, 15 deg. until 11.30 when the cloud cleared revealing a bright moon. But even during the 2 hours of good conditions, results were disappointing. A couple of Balsam Carpet, a Pinion-streaked Snout and Sharp-angled Peacock, A .ocellana, E. pallidata and Apotomis capreana were the only ones a bit more noteworthy than he rest. Not a single Wainscot of any kind on a site where they are always abundant in mid-August. Very strange.
The most abundant flyers were hornets!
