The weather allowed the trap to go out a few times in mid November this year. The options for new moths for the year were few after a productive October but I was glad to trap my second December Moth here, a a tremendous species:
 |
| December Moth Poecilocampa populi |
Also a second garden record was a Acleris cristana, with the previous one occurring in March 2019:

| Acleris cristana |
Several Mottled Umber of different variations turned up making it by far my most productive year for this species. They were also seen with some regularity on several house walls on the school run:
 |
| Mottled Umber Erranis defoliaria |
Similarly Winter Moths were found mostly attracted to house lights from late November into December:
 |
| Winter Moth Operophtera brumata |
A final new moth for the year was a Satellite:
 |
| Satellite Eupsilia transversa |
