Moths are very few indeed, so, for the time being, updates will be weekly (if any) unless a real goody turns up - unlikely...

SP9326: 12/10/11 - Juniper Carpet & Dotted Chestnut

T.min was 11.6 Celsius with light airs and a trace of rain towards dawn.

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.
