A huge haul of moths including a ridiculous 250+ Horse Chestnut Leaf Miner made it hard work picking out the good stuff. There were also 120 Common Rustic agg. which must be a record number. I do seem to be getting a handful of new moths each night currently though with three turning up this time around:
[451] Gelechia senticetella
[452] Eucosma campoliliana
[453] Dark Spinach
The tortix didn't stick around for a photo which is a shame as it was quite smart. The other two did though and the Dark Spinach was the first I've recorded in the village:

| Dark Spinach Pelurga comitata |
G. senticetella (AKA Cypress Groundling) is a scarce adventive gelechid:
 |
| Gelechia senticetella |
Some of the classic late summer species are now appearing:
 |
| Least Yellow Underwing Noctua interjecta |
 |
| Copper Underwing Amphipyra pyramidea |
 |
| Euzophera pinguis |
 |
| Agriphila tristella |
 |
| Ringed China-mark Parapoynx stratiotata |
