12th March – a better catch.

A better catch in the garden trap last night for me, 14sp, 188 moths. There was a notable increase in the number of Small quaker (this making up a lot of the total number of moths). Notable sightings included:

Small quaker – 128
Common quaker – 29
Twin-spotted quaker – 3 (First for year)
Acleris cristana – 1
Lead-coloured drab – 1
Early grey – 1 (first for year)

Not looking too bad over the coming week for more trapping, nice to find a trap with quite a few moths in again after what has seemed like a long winter.
