From the garden trap 16/09/2011

Ran the garden traps last night for the first time since 8th - a combination of being busy and away at work, and the weather being shite. Biggest highlight last night was two Brown-spot Pinions - a garden rarity for me with only three previous individuals (Sep 2000, Sep 2006 & Oct 2006).
