A good night last night with 350 moths of 57 species, two of which were new for the Old Vic. 200 of the total were Large Yellow Underwings. Moth year list is now on 432 and all time list is 631. Not too much in the way of migrants just 3 Silver-Ys. There's been some good moth migrants on the coast so tonight I'm heading over to Beddington Farmlands to try for migrants there before work this week.
4 Cormorants flying over were the highlight of this morning's garden bird count. Still no Blackcaps this autumn.
Female Carnation Tortrix- a new for garden. Managed to see the bright orange hind wing of it too.
Possibly a Maple Midget, Phyllonorycter acerfoliella- if confirmed will be a new for garden. 090923 Update: Can't been done from image and could equally be joannisi or geniculella (thanks Dave)
Lilac Beauty- a new for year
Frosted Orange- NFY
An unseasonal Leopard Moth
