Morning folks,
half a dozen NFY last night (Garden Tiger, Magpie Moth, Barred Yellow, Dog's Tooth, Ptycholoma lecheana ,Ancylis achatana) and Gypsonoma oppressana.
Twenty-seven species in total and the Dog's Tooth was our first since 2013. Indian Meal Moth also included. Heart & dart seem to be doing rather well - small numbers, but sense there will end up being more his year than last, so too Small Magpie, which we're getting up to nine each session.
Cheers,
Steve

Thanks Steve,
it was almost an over the shoulder job but then I stumbled over a photo somewhere - maybe UK moths, which put me on what turns out to have been the right path.
