Last night was very poor in terms of numbers for the time of year, but I got a long overdue garden tick, and two forms of common species I have never seen before. Amongst 30 moths of 19 species was a July Highflyer, along with a second generation Purple Thorn, and a carbonaria Peppered Moth, which can't be too frequent these days.
