The Cold Shoulder Over, as my Ground Takes the Silver

Thankfully, last night had decent cloud cover, which has been lacking recently, so I haven't trapped in the garden for a week. I managed a great rounded total of 50 moths of 25 species. Having not trapped for so long, I of course expected some new for year, but I also got three new for the garden in the shape of two Silver-ground Carpet, a Pale-shouldered Brocade, and a Dusky Brocade, the latter two being brand new to me. Also of note was a stunning Purple Clay, and a much more pristine Marbled White Spot.
