Hi Greg,

My numbers were even lower than yours.

2 Blair's Shoulder-knot
2 Common Marbled Carpet
1 Snout
1 Large Yellow Underwing
1 Square-spot Rustic
1 Garden Carpet
1 Shuttle-shaped Dart.

Still awaiting Pink-barred Sallow and Green-brindled Crescent.

2 Silver Y
2 Snout
1 Brimstone
1 Lunar Underwing
1 Tachystola acroxantha

Edit - couple more after checking the shed walls: 2 more Snouts, plus a Light Emerald and 2 Barred Sallows.

Cheers

Ran three traps for the Wilmslow Guild in one of their members rural gardens at Adlington and managed to catch 43 moths of 22 species.
