Westcott, Bucks

There has been very little activity out in the garden over the past ten or so nights but, until last night, I have members of the trio below to thank for the continued absence of any blanks:    

Scarce Umber, Mottled Umber & Winter Moth
Westcott 3rd December

Scarce Umber must be all but over by now and I've not had a December Moth yet this month so, as Tim Arnold commented to an early post, that species may also be well past its peak this year.

With forecast temperatures barely above freezing during the daytime for the next week or so and frosts each night, the first hour or two after dark might perhaps bring in the odd Winter Moth (just as likely to a lit window as to the moth light) but I'm not really expecting anything else.  Roll on 2023 when it starts all over again!
