I had about 20 new species for the year. The warm night obviously helped, and the lack of wind. Even so there was a fullish moon and no cloud cover, so I was pleased to get a good selection. No hawkmoths was a bit disappointing but you cannot have everything!
New for year included:
Eurrhypara hortulata (small magpie)
buff ermine
blotched emerald
Cypress carpet
lackey
middle-barred minor
Udea olivalis
cinnabar
spectacle
peach blossom
Myelois circumvoluta (thistle ermine)
Lozotaenia forsterana
Archips podana
Epiblema uddmanniana (Bramble shoot moth)
mottled rustic
small square-spot
common carpet
silver-ground carpet
dusky brocade.
