The following night was much better. The highlight was a surprise Oblique Carpet, a species I associate with the Broads. In fact there are a handful of records from elsewhere in Norfolk but they appear to be very thin on the ground away from the Broads. In west Norfolk (VC28) there don't appear to have been any other records since one in 2013, so it's not something I particularly expected to turn up in my trap.

Another species I didn't really expect to see here was Shaded Pug. This is mainly a Breckland species, though with a fair few records along the north and west coasts too. In the middle of the county there aren't many records at all, so another good local record.
