A late posting of moth numbers from 6 traps on St Martins, Isles of Scilly on 29/9 - David Price and myself. The wind dropped considerably so migrant numbers increased a lot, though nothing stunningly rare.
We had a good haul of moths though;
59 Rusty-dot Pearl
29 Rush Veneer
1 Hummingbird Hawk
1 Convolvulus Hawk
3 Turnips
2 Scarce-bordered Straw
4 Silver Y
2 Pearly Underwing
2 Dark Swordgrass

2 Convolvulus Hawkmoth, 1 Pearly Underwing

Trapping on St Martins, Isles of Scilly again last night - 28/9, with David Price we ran 6 traps again and migrants improved with;
