Just 1 new moth today, after a warm night with a little drizzle. At midnight there were 2 small emeralds, 4 large yellow underwings, 1 mother of pearl, 2 brimstone and 1 common carpet on the sheet and plenty entering the trap. Most of these seemed to be setaceous hebrew characters.

This morning plenty of lesser yellow underwings, lesser broad bordered yellow underwings, several common wainscot, set hebrew characters, uncertains, 2 brimstone and an ununsual moth for the trap, a burnished brass. Latter being only my 3rd record. However, highlight was finding a flounced rustic in the trap. Tricky individual to id, looking rather similar to a common rustic. Both shown below.
