Last for a while

Last night was the last warm 'mothy' night forecast for a while so the trap went out again. Probably my best ever catch for an October night with 2 each of the migrants Rusty Dot Pearl and Silver Y, another 2 Dusky-lemon Sallows and the second Brown-spot Pinion for the garden. With 6 micros awaiting identification that's 53 moths of 27 species last night.
