Late bloomer

Peacock at Cullaloe today. Looks in pristine condition - does that mean it just emerged? Left it sunning itself beside the filter beds.

Cullaloe, Moth Night, 12/10/2013

18:00-22:30 ish when I left. Overcast and 11 degrees at first the cloud cleared and temperature feel to about 9 degrees. 12 species recorded by the time I left, but maybe more after that. My favourites of the night were December Moth, Streak and Autumnal Rustic. Complete list (to when I left) below. Moth of the night was Feathered Thorn, of which there were at least 7 when I left. Apart from November "types" which were slightly behind I don't think any other species registered more than two individuals.
