Autumn moths....

 As the forecast was calm, cloudy and relatively warm last night I set up the actinic at its usual flat roof site (I did n`t bother with the MV this time). Only 11 species of moth, all typically `autumn jobs` with black rustic (x4) the most `numerous`(!). Even though no migrants were anticipated, a rusty-dot pearl was present. A 2nd brood yellow-tail was also noted.

Above: a selection of last night`s moths - (clockwise): large wainscot, merveille du jour (a boldly-marked individual), large ranunculus and sallow. Below: the rusty-dot pearl. (Left-click on pics to enlarge).
