Moth numbers are well down, with a predominance of Underwings and tired looking Uncertain types.
Nothing new for a couple of nights but still getting Small Ranunculus and round two of Toadflax Brocade.

Small Ranunculus...locally common at The Dells garden

Small Emerald turn up in two's and three's

Small Blood-vein, another regular, haven't seen a big Blood-vein since 2010
