A few degrees warmer - a few more moths

After a couple of zero catches during the almost freezing and very windy periods, the warmer evenings of the 21/22 October were welcome to keep the garden year list ticking along. A nice selection of October species trapped including a proper migrant and a garden first November moth agg.

Dark Sword-grass - first for year 22/10. A garden third as I had two last year in August and October

Feathered Thorn - new for year 21/10

November Moth agg. - garden first 21/10

Green-brindled Crescent - first for year 21/10

Juniper Carpet - three different individuals (one on 21st and two additional on 22/10)

Second week of October

A couple of new ones this week though numbers have been low in general. Black Rustic has been the most numerous, a Chestnut, a few Blair's Shoulder-knot and four species of carpet, Garden, Common Marbled, Spruce and Grey Pine, with a few lingering yellow underwings and Turnip.
Illustrated are the two new ones for the list and a lighter form which I had not encountered before.

Green-brindled Crescent (garden first on 12th)

Brown-spot Pinion (garden first on 8th Oct)

Large Ranunculus (paler form than those I trapped in September)
