No surprises here

No Cosmopolitan or Pearly Underwing for me last night, unfortunately, but I did get yet another Vestal (a female this time) along with Turnip (1), Angle Shades (3) & Silver Y (1) which could possibly have been migrants.  The remainder of the catch comprised Red-green Carpet (2), November Moth sp (11), Feathered Thorn (3, including a female), Figure of Eight (2), Setaceous Hebrew Character (1), Green-brindled Crescent (2), Sprawler (2), Blair's Shoulder-knot (1), Brick (1) & Beaded Chestnut (3).

Vestal, Westcott 28th October

Silver Y, Westcott 28th October

With the first frost of the season expected here tonight maybe it will soon be time to start thinking about picking and choosing which nights to trap, but with so many nice moths still around at the moment I'll probably continue every night for a little while longer yet.
