Firsts for us this year included Peppered moth (a very dark one), White-pinion spotted, Small angle shades, Green carpet, Dark-barred twin-spot carpet, Cream wave, Pale-shouldered brocade, Grey pine carpet, Common lutestring, Sandy carpet, Scorched wing, Rivulet. The micros were Alucita hexadactyla (Twenty-plume moth) and Argyresthia conjella (Apple fruit moth).
