Relatively mild and still night last night, with heavy rain at dawn. My garden moth trap doesn’t usually do very well for Geometrids but last night I had a few (streamer, engrailed, early thorn, brindled pug…) as well as the usual quakers (including another lead-coloured drab). But more surprising was the appearance of a dark sword-grass and rush veneer. I’ve never seen migrants at this time of the year before. Were any coastal traps on last night?

Two Rush Veneer and a Plutella xylostella here. The winds favoured the east Anglian coast last night rather than the south coast. It was down to the timing of the rain too.
