A really good catch. I still haven't had Shoulder Stripe, but then again it's a woodland species........and I've got no woods!

A good haul there Stewart, considering the clear conditions.
Another super catch, Stewart. I've not bought my noth trap yet but still plan to do so.
A very good haul Stew and some fine pics. Like Emma I'm mulling over buying a moth trap at present.
