  1. Superb catch, just superb. I would love to see Dusky-lemon Sallow again after having 2 years of getting them on my parents farm in all manner of shades. 100 Set Hebrew Character lol I got 2 in my last catch though like your email comment, I am competing with streetlights galore and we live near an industrial estate with bright lights permanently on, I was lucky that Vestal got through!
    All the best and keep up the great work.

  2. Cheers Ben, though the cooler weather and Easterly winds are going to make a massive difference in numbers in the next few days, down to 26 sp. for 26th and probably less for tonight.
