The majority of Epirrita I catch are almost uniform grey with little sign of any banding and no discal spot, these are two well marked individuals by my standards both of which I think conform to November Moth with regard to the shape of the post-median fascia even though the discal spot is well clear of the fascia.
Another reasonable catch last night with 2 Barred Sallow, another Feathered Thorn, 9 November Moths, 4 Brick, Merveille du Jour, 4 Yellow-line Quaker, Red-line Quaker, 3 Satellite, 2 Juniper Carpet, Angle Shades, Chestnut and a Brown-spot Pinion.

Trapped in Clough Wood last night with the temperature at 16 Centigrade. Caught the first Epirrita of the year, either November, Pale November or Autumnal but couldn't say which.
also 3 Merveille du Jour, 2 Green-brindled Crescent, first Mottled Umber of the autumn, Dusky Thorn, a late Broad-bordered yellow Underwing, 4 Barred Sallow and Sallow and the micro Argyrethia bonnetella.
