Westcott, Bucks

Nine species had turned up to the conservatory windows here by midnight last night (when I turned off the twin-30wt actinic light), including Agonopterix ocellana, Emmelina monodactyla and Twin-spotted Quaker which were new for this year's garden list.  Agonopterix ocellana is another of the more colourful species from that family which over-winters as an adult.  Two Twin-spotted Quakers turned up and included one of the less well-marked forms.
