Too cold for moths

Lovely warm days but very cold nights

There is often a lull in moth numbers at this time of year, but the very cold nights have accentuated this dip.  Nevertheless, there have been some lovely NFY moths in the last week.  I love the Iron prominent - such beautiful colours, and like the very furry Pale tussock (photo below), a great hair style!
