Put the trap out again last nigh and had quite a haul of moths certainly shows how much things improve when the wind drops and it stays fairly mild. Nothing unusual though just the more common Garden moths. The pictures are of 73.242 [B&F: 2188] Clouded Drab (Orthosia incerta) shown to highlight the colour/pattern and size variation of the species and pretty much covers the range certainly for the ones I get in the garden.
