Acleris sparsana - at last

Acleris sparsana is an annual visitor to the garden although I only get one or two each season.  I was beginning to give up hope this year but then this rather tired-looking and poorly-marked specimen turned up last night.

Acleris sparsana, Westcott 6th November

The results from the last two nights have actually been quite reasonable for the time of year, with 12 species on each of them (for a combined total of 17 different species).  Red-green Carpet (6) and Feathered Thorn (6) provided the highest counts on the 5th while Sprawler (10) was the winner last night.
