Immigrant Lepidoptera continued to feature; the Painted Ladys first reported a couple of days ago looked to have moved on very quickly, with none logged yesterday and only 3 today, but amongst the moths Bordered Straws in particular were still relatively numerous, with moth-trap totals of 6 at the Grove, 4 at the Obs and 2 at Sweethill, as well as a minimum of 7 visiting valerian in the Obs garden at dusk yesterday evening.
