9th Aug '12 .. Garden Traps

Another calm, clear, warm night and the moon is waning but still on the bright side.
The late summer lull is here before we slip into autumn although there are the occasional surprises amongst the Rustic types and Underwings.
A year first Canary-shouldered Thorn and a Swallow Prominent brightened up an otherwise dull trap catch.
