Another good haul of moths in the 2 traps I ran last night, with more new records for the year. 16sp, 445 moths. Numbers of Spring usher and Pale brindled beauty starting to drop down, but an increase in Small brindled beauty with 61 trapped. Highest ever numbers of Dotted border trapped – 54. Other things of note were Small quaker (12), Satellite and first year records of Oak beauty (2), Common quaker, Brindled pug, Grey shoulder knot and Caloptilia elongella.
Trap on in the garden tonight hopefully a few more year additions will turn up.
