A Small Jewel arrives...

A good couple of nights, but I am yet to get my two hundredth garden moth. The weather is going to get warmer, so I can expect it soon hopefully.

Both nights were fairly clear, but with quite warm air, and I got 33 moths of 19 species on the 20th, and 54 moths of 23 last night. Best moths were the few new for the year of Mottled Beauty, Turnip, Double Square-spot, and the jewel in the crown, my second ever Small Angle Shades.
