Window Moth

As usual I ran the actinic trap from dusk in the garden last night.  At 10pm (by which time the temperature had dropped to freezing) I switched it off, having got nothing apart from a few winter gnats.  A mere ten minutes later my better half earned herself a few brownie points by summoning me to the kitchen to look at a moth which had appeared on one of the windows.  A quick trip outside with a pot confirmed it as my first Early Moth of 2017 - nice one!
