Another productive night, probably slightly spoilt by a heavy mist which descended around 10.30pm. Numbers of Common Quaker could be beginning to tail off slightly (a blessing) and good news in the form of 2 new species for the year.
Shoulder-stripe
This is the 1st time I've seen this anywhere and was a high priority on my garden hit list.
Clouded Drab
For the 1st time out-performing the Quakers. This is a light form of the species.
