New moth sheet location

This summer I moved my moth sheet from the wall of the house, where it was facing the garden and native forest ca. 100 m beyond, to the wall of a shed facing and in close proximity to two types of native forest (EVC) - Swampy Riparian Woodland (Mtn Swamp Gum, Blackwood, Vic Blue Gum, Common Cassinia, Austral Bracken) and Herb-rich Foothill Forest (Narrow-leaved peppermint, Manna Gum, Silver Wattle, Common Cassinia, Austral Bracken). This has resulted in many new moth species observations and quite a few species being less encountered. However, it's also a La Nina year whit mild temps and up until new year is was quite wet and humid.

A strong La Nina this summer - mild and wet.
Hearing and seeing YtBCs almost every day, either in the garden or flying over, to/from the forest. Also observing Gang Gangs regularly, but not as frequently as the YtBCs.
Rufous Whistlers are back in our forest and around the house this summer after a near complete absence in summer 20-21.
Brown Goshawk still a resident and regularly observed (mostly heard) in the forest around the house - mainly to the north. Mostly heard calling from near the NW corner of the north paddock - near Andrew and Linda's boundary.
Other regular summer migrants also present - YfHe, BfCsh, Leaden/Satin Fc, SKf, but fewer WhTh Warblers than usual.
