Moth round up

Due to no outstanding moths of late there has been little to report, until this morning, when a small scallop was a new moth for my parish records whilst a bird's wing moth was only the 2nd garden record. Also of note, over the last 2 nights at least one pine hawkmoth has been taken, the first for the year.
A continual thunder storm last night and, as shown, a bright moon limited the catch. More of the same weather forecast for tonight. Also, amongst the many micros, a carcina quercana and pandemis corylana were notable. Common moths, but easily identifiable and colourful
