Finished the night on 34/19
with 3NFY, a battered Feathered Thorn wrapped up the night. The Mottled Umber being a full moth earlier than I’ve ever caught one before. The Swallow tail being the latest I’ve ever caught one.

Only 22 moths but the Clancy’s Rustic is a life moth for me. I’m also pleased with the Mallow which I catch in low numbers.
