That night we had 15 moth species on our balcony:  Dusky Thorn, a new one and which I rescued from a spider's web; Angle Shades, Bright-line Brown-eye, Brown-tail, Dingy Dowd, Garden Carpet, Marbled Green, Pale-streak Grass-veneer, Poplar Bent-wing, Rush Veneer, Rustic, Rusty Dot Pearl, Silver Y, Willow Beauty and a Twin-barred Knot-horn.
