Alder Moth, in September?

This Alder Moth came as a surprise during one of my regular trapping sessions in Bernwood Forest, Bucks last night.  Yet another species attempting a second brood.

Otherwise the only thing of interest was a Figure of Eight, no doubt the first of many as the moth is quite common in woodland locally.
