Figure of Eight bonanza

A couple of MV lights run in Finemere Wood, Bucks last night for the usual three hour session produced only 22 species between them, all very much as expected although Epinotia maculana and my first Feathered Thorn of the year were nice to see.  The only moths around in any numbers were Acleris rhombana (28) and Figure of Eight (87).  Finemere has always been a good site for Figure of Eight but that count is my highest ever there, beating 80 between three lights on 23rd October 2009.
