SP9326: 16/10/11 - Wonder of the Night

A milder night, with a T.min of 5.8 Celsius.

Recent successes were tempered by two consecutive blank score-sheets. Temperatures plummeted and the first (mild) frosts of the season arrived. However, two new* garden macros last night raised spirits as, at last, a fine Merveille du Jour appeared. A truly splendidly marked moth - it begs the question of why not 'Merveille du Nuit' ? Still, c'est la vie n'est-ce pas?

Oh - Large Wainscot was the other garden débutante (two, in fact).

2247* Merveille du Jour

2375* Large Wainscot
