Also a late-flying Red-barred Tortrix. Meanwhile Box Tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis, continues to appear here in growing numbers, 8 last night and 5 the night before.

Elephant Hawk
Rather surprised to get a late-flying Elephant Hawk here last night. - never had one in September before:

Nice one! I've not seen Elephant Hawk-moth out-of-season like this, although it is known to have a small second brood occasionally, but I have had Small Elephant Hawk during the final week of August in 2010 and in 2017 which might well be a second brood.
