We seem to have another small window for immigration with a warmer southerly airflow now and for the next two or three nights. Last night the actinic light was run inside the conservatory here, bringing ten species to the windows and amongst which were
Udea ferrugalis (1) & Silver Y (1) which may have been migrants, although the Silver Y seemed to be on its last legs whereas migrants are usually very fresh-looking.

The other moths comprised
Emmelina monodactyla (1), December Moth (1, another female), Common Marbled Carpet (1), Red-green Carpet (1), Winter Moth (6), Feathered Thorn (1), Mottled Umber (1) & Angle Shades (1). The Common Marbled Carpet was my latest sighting by a week.
