Pale Pinion

With Dave tweeting that he'd already had 11 species by 10.30 last night I was a bit disappointed that over the course of the whole night I only managed 10 moths.  But one was this very smart Oak Beauty - not unusual but always a pleasure.

Not quite as stunning but still quite distinctive - and for now considerably scarcer - was a Pale Pinion.  This species is a new arrival in the UK but is becoming rather common now.  I hadn't seen one until last year but then trapped singles at 3 different sites over the space of a week.

Other than those, not much else: March Tubic Diurnea fagella, Clouded Drab, 4 Hebrew Characters, Early Grey and Chestnut.
