SP9326: 03/10/11 - Blair's Shoulder-Knot

Tmin was 12.9 Celsius, but with an 8 mph SW wind.

After the previous nights' disappointment (conditions appeared near ideal, but just Large and Lesser Underwing appeared) it was a noticeable improvement, even though it was cooler with more wind.
Blair's Shoulder-knot (at last !) was new* for the garden, and three Sallow sp. to boot.
