Moth Trapping.

Caradrina flavirena (Lorimer's Rustic).
 There were also several moths which I had originally Ided as 10343 (2092) Agrotis puta puta (Shuttle Shaped Dart) but Dave thinks that they could be 10342 (2092a) Agrotis catalaunalis / syricola (Grouville Dart).
Agrotis puta puta (Shuttle Shaped Dart) or Agrotis catalaunalis / syricola (Grouville Dart).
Also in the trap there was a Nycteola siculana a new species for the garden.
