<p>Garden Catch 09/07/18 - The pretty Magpie
The catch eas brightened up somewhat this morning by a beautiful Magpie Moth, a species that is frequent here and usually annual only missing out it's appearance last year, it is also the 200th species of Macro for the garden in 2018.

A darker Common Rustic sp was dissected and indeed my suspicions were correct when it turned out to be only my second garden record of the Lesser variety.
</p><p><br>
A quieter night in general with lows of just 12c which was very cool compared to recent nights of 16c!
</p><p>Garden species count for 2018 now upto 355.
