Brindled Beauty and Satellite still to show. It's interesting to note
that if attempts had been restricted to just 3 nights all the

a good example and got things off to a good start. The Saharan wind
systems had warmed things up and produced 12 species including an
early Engrailed and the added bonus of 8 Euchromius Ocellea.
