Plenty to Drink at Broadstreet / Slender quality in the garden

A couple of nights ago we had a go at mothing at Broadstreet Common near Guildford, but a little rained hindered us. We did manage macro highlights of Kent Black Arches, Small Scallop, and Cream Wave. We also got loads of Drinker including a large female. Among the micros were the grassland specialist Isophrictis striatella, and the boldly marked Pammene aurana.
