6th August 2016

First trapping night in the month of August turned up a superb Drinker - this species seems to be common in many places locally but studiously avoids Cottenham - it was only my second record in the village. A Brown China-mark was a long awaited new moth - not sure how I've managed to avoid that one over the years.
