Pink-barred Sallow

Another addition to the garden moth list. I've previously only recorded this species in my parents' garden in Hampshire.

The catch was also remarkable for having the most Snouts I've ever caught in a single night. They were the most numerous species, even outnumbering the Large Yellow Underwings.
