I've Hooked myself a Scalloped

Conditions were right on the edge last night, which means I wondered whether it was really worth running the trap, with many clear spells. Numbers therefore were not as good as recently, but better than expected. But I think it was worth it, as I got an unexpected garden tick.

Amongst 59 moths of 31 species was a surprise Scalloped Hook-tip, although no other highlights to speak of.
