A reasonably mild night compared to anything else this year so it was no surprise that there were a few new for the garden, in fact three species:
[282] Tachystola acroxantha
[283] Spotted Shoot Moth
[284] Blood-vein
T. acroxantha is the scarcest of these , although I can't get too excited about adventives - this species apparently originates from Australia and has been recorded a handful of times in VC29 recently. Spotted Shoot-Moth is a smart tortrix and is only the second time I've recorded it in the village. The blood-vein is a fantastic moth and I surprised to find that I haven't recorded it since 2014.
Other good moths included the gardens second (and my 4th ever) Orange Footman, the second garden/year Seraphim and a Cinnabar.
