Left a light on at COAM last night.

163 moths of 15 species; best of the bunch was a single Dotted Chestnut; also new for the year Brindled Pug, Twin-spotted Quaker, Clouded Drab, Brindled Beauty and Early Thorn.

    That's a good collection, Dave! Still a little early for Brindled Beauty in my books (although not impossible now ) - do you have a picture?

    Brindled Beauty seems to be early this year, heard of several records over the last week locally and had one in Didcot garden trap mid-week. Also had my first Streamer of the year in the Rothamsted trap at CEH Wallingford last weekend.
