Light in the darkening mist

Day 120 #365DaysWild  


The moth light glows in the darkening mist.


Moths attracted to the light mark the turning of the seasons.


14 moths of 7 species overnight. Not a huge haul. Nothing exceptional. Rather like a seasonal soap-opera where familiar characters recur. Seasonal change is marked by the arrival of different moth species.


Freshly-minted feathered thorn are now on-the-wing.

Mottled umber too.

Both moths that overwinter as eggs on our local deciduous trees.
