A couple of new* macros after a pretty barren few weeks. A well marked Juniper Carpet was at the box late evening and continues this years theme of scarce carpets caught in the garden. It was followed by a second individual on a wheelie-bin close to the trap this morning. A Dotted Chestnut was even better - these are spreading north, apparently. Both species are scarce/local. Year first Yellow-line Quaker.
