Evening All,

Last nights catch was better than expected.
19 of 14 species, including a NFY Pink-barred Sallow, second generation Flame and Riband Wave.
Also one I didn't recognise at first, mainly because of it's wing shape, which seemed to be wrapped
tightly around it's body and it's small size, I thought I may have had a new lifer, possibly Small Mottled Willow.
After photographing I now think it's a Small Turnip Moth. I would appreciate a confirmation please.

Thanks
Greg

Hi Steve,

That's some list of yours, no sign of any Quakers or Blairs Shoulder Knots here yet.
Thanks for the confirmation, there's always the odd one to test us.

Regards
Greg
