Despite, or perhaps as a result of the change in the weather, I had a good moth catch last night, by current standards at least.
A total of 67 moths of 33 species is my best catch this year and included 8 Elephant Hawkmoths, Scorched Wing, Gold Spot, Freyer's Pug and both Alder Moth and Dusky Brocade shown below.
The rain during the day curtailed any bird watching.

In what was otherwise a poor night as the temperature dropped rapidly I managed to add Dusky Brocade, Green Oak Tortrix and Scoparia pyrallela the latter amongst large number of ambigualis.
