More moth migrants at the Old Vic

Delicate and Vestal yesterday but no migrants last night and in fact one of the few nights this year without any NFYs. There was Saharan sand on the car yesterday so I was hopeful for more migrants but it's a tough game waiting for migrants here so I'm travelling down to Portland tonight to meet up with Kojak, there's a few days of unseasonal warm weather with deep south wind and there's already been plenty of migrant activity on the coast so fingers crossed it keeps up. 

Garden moth year list now on 462 with a few expected NFYs.

Delicate- been a few of these this year 
Brindled Green- NFY
Grey Shoulder Knot- NFY, quite a few Blair's Shoulder Knots around at moment too 
Red-line Quaker - NFY
Dark Chestnut- NFY 
Not sure whether this is just another Garden Rose Tortrix, Acleris variegana or maybe something like A.laterana
