Cullaloe LNR, Heath Trap, 21:30-4:45, Willow/Birch Carr
Mild night to start but cooling and with some mist.
The star of the show was undoubtedly this Poplar Hawk Moth, which will be one of the highlights of my Cullaloe year, mothing or otherwise
Another new one for me was Brown Silverline, of which there were 2
There were two others, both Noctuids, and one of which seems to be Pale-shouldered Brocade, but I know there are other similar species so I am posting them here without ID for the moment (ID now confirmed/established)
