Chilly morning upon us - Still going strong! Despite predicted clear skies all night and a dip to 9-10c, at 8.45pm it was still thick cloud cover so I promptly set-up the trap, having missed out the previous night. By this morning.... boy it was chilly! Still the trap and the surrounding walls had plenty of moths present, mostly Willow Beauty and Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing. Plenty of new species for the garden aswell, including Iron Prominent, Knot Grass, Small Phoenix and Flame Carpet. Amazingly Common Carpet was new for year, and just shows you that it is never too late for a moth to appear in your trap!
