Three-tick night

Actually it was more than 3 ticks in the night because it was the same night we went to East Wretham Heath, but the moth trap at home also produced the goods including 3 moths I'd never seen before: Buff Long-horn Nematopogon metaxella, Woodland Marble Orthotaenia undulana and Double-striped Knot-horn Cryptoblabes bistriga.
