Burial Park Moths

After getting the light fixed for the trap at Chiltern Woodland Burial Park, the moths have started flooding in (well, within reason anyway).
This morning, 5 x Tortricodes alternella, 5 x March Moth, 2 x Dotted Border, 2 x Small Brindled Beauty and 1 x Chestnut.

Also at Chiltern Open Air Museum on Monday, I found an indoor Double-striped Pug.

    Hi Dave, I presume you mean Pale Brindled Beauty? Brindled Beauty is a moth of April and May locally.

    Have had Pale Brindled Beauty but on the 19th had my first Brindled Beauty here at Garsington so maybe it's something to do with this extraordinary warmth.

    I have a very poor photo on my phone and have double checked; the moths were Small Brindled Beauty and I've updated my post!

    Thanks Dave, I would expect CWBP to be a good site for Small Brindled Beauty.

    ...Steve's post further up the blog helped too! Only had one Small BB at CWBP before, back in 2014.
