Return of an old friend

Had a lovely specimen of Scarce Tissue in the trap in my Sonning garden last night. I caught small numbers in the mid-noughties, but my last record before this was 2007. Still got Berberis in the garden so hopefully it might be breeding again. Also caught my first Early Thorn and Nut-tree Tussock of the year.
