Last night....2 Dark Sword Grass, 2 Rusty Dot Pearl, 3 Diamond Backs and 2 Silver Y. As last message, for this late in the year, the conditions are extremely favourable, with warm and moderate strength winds from the South/South East, for the next week, migrants should reach Northants and many other inland parts.

Night of 25 October: 2 Vestal, 39 Rusty-dot Pearl, 11 Angle Shades, 2 Large Yellow Underwing, 3 Dark Sword-grass. Also 19 Brindled Ochre, 3 Buff Footman and 1 Buff Arches.
Conditions looking very favourable for immigration in the coming week.

Friday 23rd October a Blossom Underwing. Possibly a migrant, but I don't think so, as established here in Woodnewton, but a very unusual record for this time of the year. Confirmed by Northants County Recorder
