A bit drier last night!

And, importantly, the strong wind blowing on Saturday night had died down, so I put the small actinic trap out - recently refurbished courtesy of Paul Batty, who provided me with a new control box and connectors, the old workings having died of old age.

Accompanying the abundant LYUs and Flame Shoulders were Scalloped Hook-tip, only my second record of this species, and Lesser Wax Moth which I've not seen before:

Other notable arrivals were Yellow-barred Brindle, Lychnis, and this distinctive tortrix:

The reddish-brown dorsal 'saddle' suggests that this is Epinotia nisella, a common enough moth but another new one for me.

Yesterday afternoon, after the rain had given way to the more familiar sunshine, as if to celebrate the change a Hummer turned up on a Buddleia just outside the lounge window, so I was able to admire it without missing the final stages of the Test Match.
