Small beer...

Morning folks,
it must be getting near the end of our mothing year (traditionally we only trap from mid-late March to late October) as the trap was almost empty this morning. Best of a small bunch was a single Figure of Eight (Diloba caeruleocephala), and a couple of Blair's Shoulder Knot (Lithophane leautieri). The pristine Setaceous Hebrew Character (Xestia c-nigrum) was however one of the latest we've ever recorded, being surpassed only by five or six instances on later dates (29th October being the latest).
Cheers,
Steve
