Reasonable catch , 84 of 24 this morning, but migrants are still largely avoiding Lufbra.
Best for me were
Chinese Character, my first for four years and my latest record.
My latest-ever Poplar Hawk-moth
27 Vine's Rustics, my highest ever count.
 
50 moths of 17 species last night, the best was a Grey Chi, only the 2nd for my garden and the 1st since 2013! Canary-shouldered Thorn, Chevron, Double-striped Pug and Ear Moth agg were all new for the year.
 
Two more garden ticks on 24th, Small Dusty Wave & Purple Bar, both of which I've had elsewhere (work & Pembrokeshire respectively), although I did have a go at stringing a rather dark Small Fan-footed Wave into the former back when I was a total novice. Old Lady, Tawny Speckled Pug, Blood-vein & regular Copper Underwing (two of) were year ticks. Nine Dusky Thorns and twelve Setaceous Hebrew Characters were good counts, and another late Poplar Hawk was notable.
