For a cool night I did well at home on 18th July as well (as well as at Brancaster, that is).  Several moths were new for the year for home: Scarce Obscure Oegoconia deauratella, Maple Button Acleris forsskaleana, Pale Water-veneer Donacaula forficella, 2 Ash-bark Knot-horns Euzophera pinguis, Slender Pug, Vapourer, Black Arches, Ruby Tiger and Mere Wainscot.  The latter was only my second ever.
