A few more moths last night including a Tawny Pinion at Thurlbear. I trapped for six years before I recorded this species in my garden. It's a distinctive moth compared to Pale Pinion but this is always easier if you've actually seen both. Note the nicotine-stained wing colour and the blackish thoracic crests and tufts on the abdomen. Around Taunton I find Pale Pinion outnumbers Tawny Pinion by about 3:1.
