Moth update - Yellow-barred Brindle

Still struggling with moths both in terms of numbers and species, I think the night temperatures are still on the cool side where I am. Yellow-barred Brindle last night is always a welcome visitor also Small Phoenix, Scalloped Hazel and Pale Tussock in the last few days. I have also added the micro moth Ypsolopha ustella.
