Phew now that was some moth trapping last night with 165 moths, of 48 species recorded. In fact there were a lot lot more, but in the end I was struggling to sort them all out.

I'm still wading through moth ID books and it looks as if this could take awhile. So here is the list of the ones I think I know at this moment in time. Updates will follow. However please feel free to correct me and also perhaps help me ID the missing ones. That would be great.

Certainly more ID'd now, and a big thank you to my good friend Ed Wilson for helping me out.
