The last few nights have made a great deal of difference to the garden year-list, such that it is now only ten species behind last year's count of 358 species by 25th June.  Indeed, it may in fact be ahead because last year's list includes dissections but this year's queries won't get sorted until the winter.  With two 100+ species nights (23rd & 24th) now under the belt, new arrivals have been pouring in and have included the following:
