21st Oct 2013 ... Warm Southerly blow disapponts

Both traps were fired up on the strength of a stiff southerly wind and very mild temperatures.
Hoping the wind would blow a nice migrant up to Bedfordshire.
No such luck, but a large Turnip Moth had me going for a moment as Pearly Underwing is still missing from my garden list. A third record of Scarce Bordered Straw is also on the cards, with several being reported from the home counties.

0229 ... Monopis obviella
0998 ... Epiphyas postvittana x 5
1524 ... Emmelina monodactyla x 2
1937 ... Willow Beauty
2087 ... Turnip Moth

Turnip Moth

2107 ... Large Yellow Underwing
2109 ... Lesser Yellow Underwing x 4
2240 ... Blair's Shoulder-knot x 2
2273 ... Pink-barred Sallow
2306 ... Angle Shades x 3
2389 ... Pale Mottled Willow
2477 ... Snout

    2 Dark Sword-grass here, and 40 moths in total with a garden first Rosy Rustic was much better than I expected. Maybe tonight we might get something decent....
