The minimum overnight temperature in Great Sutton was 12.5C last night (24/7/2018), down from 18.5C the night before. The moths obviously noticed the difference.

23/7/2018 - 120 moths of 47 species with Gold Spot, Campion, Narrow-winged Pug, Small Rufous (only my 8th record and 1st for 5 years) and Ypsolopha scabrella NFY, and Juniper Pug NFG.

24/7/2018 - 34 moths of 15 species with nothing new, and also nothing on the Buddleia either.
