Better moth night

Start of July and a huge improvement in moth numbers after the cold night on Sunday/Monday when I recorded an all time low for June, 4 moths with scalloped oak and heart and dart being the 2 macros and Ancylis achatana and Archips xylosteana being the micros.
This morning, 2 new macros in the shape of treble brown spot and dwarf cream wave along with micros Crassa unitella and Mother of Pearl. Other good moths were a privet hawkmoth, 10 common footman and 3 each of clouded border and barred straw.
These new ones take my macro total to 135 and the micro total to 48, with a few still to identify and presently residing in the fridge.
