A really good catch last night with a total of 59, possibly 60 species including a cracking Light Brocade and a Clouded-bordered Brindle, both garden firsts and an Endothenia which is either gentianaeana or marginana, not sure which. Numbers are really on the up now with some species going beyond 20 individuals. It remained warm all night but things are set to change unfortunately, with cooler conditions expected by Wednesday.
