Brenda writes: “The trap was busy last night as it was still and warm. There were good numbers of shuttle-shaped dart, turnip and vines rustic but the stars, in terms of numbers, were the lesser broad-bordered yellow underwings, 25 of them! It was nice have a swallow prominent and grey dagger turn up and there were two new moths, dusky thorn and the very beautiful marbled beauty.”
