The following were recorded: Light Brown Apple Moth [4]; Garden Rose Tortrix [1]; Small Dusty Wave [1]; Brimstone Moth [2]; Canary-shouldered Thorn [1]; Shuttle-shaped Dart [1]; Flame Shoulder [1]; Large Yellow Underwing [22]; Lesser Yellow Underwing [16]; Setaceous Hebrew Character [6]; Square-spot Rustic [1]; Lunar Underwing [1]; Angle Shades [1]; Vine's Rustic [2]; Burnished Brass [1] and The Snout [1].
