Westcott, Bucks

It was a good night for numbers here last night too (499 moths of 50 species) but the only possible migrants were Dark Sword-grass (1) and Plutella xylostella (3), perhaps along with Turnip (5).  Mallow and Brick were new for the year-list, taking the garden to 600 species so far in 2019, while the big numbers were provided by Setaceous Hebrew Character (120), Square-spot Rustic (86), Lunar Underwing (43), Common Wainscot (35) & Black Rustic (33).  As Adam said, it was a particularly good night for micros with 15 species appearing here, including a pair of second-brood Hypsopygia glaucinalis.
