The one on the window was a Mottled Umber. It was not a lifer because I saw one on the side of Selfridges in Birmingham in November 2018, but it was new for the garden.

Garden moth ticks
A relatively mild night, although rather wet. I put the trap out and this morning discovered two moths, one on the window and the other in the trap. They were both garden ticks.
The one on the window was a Mottled Umber. It was not a lifer because I saw one on the side of Selfridges in Birmingham in November 2018, but it was new for the garden.
The one clinging to the perspex inside the trap was a lifer; Feathered Thorn.
A quick look at Moths of Warwickshire confirmed that, as I had suspected, these are not scarce moths.
