Warmer evening

With a rise in night time temperatures, I switched the moth trap on; more in hope than expectation. However, I was rewarded with 2 early arriving pale brindled beauties. Nothing else put in an appearance. The two are shown here, displaying variations in markings and colour. However, the 4 blotches on the edge of the wing are clearly visible and a good indicator to species. Only other parish moth record was a dotted border, found on the pub wall Tuesday night. First of the year.
