Three new for the garden this time:
[471] Epermenia falciformis
[472] Epinotia nisella
[473] Tawny-barred Angle
Epermenia falcifoirmis is a good looking micro that seems to be quite local in the region. Its also the second species of this genus recorded this year.
Last year at about this time I recorded some worn Epinotia species that remained unidentified. Two similar moths occurred in this trap, both with a faint chestnut patch on the forewing - so these (and presumably last years) seem good for E. nisella.
No such ID problems with this Tawny-barred Angle that was on the wall next to the trap. Only my second in Cottenham, with the previous record being from July 2015:
The other highlight was my second ever Oak Nycteoline and the first to stick around for a photo:
[471] Epermenia falciformis
[472] Epinotia nisella
[473] Tawny-barred Angle
