Think it should be OK for a while. I shall try tonight before threatened heavy rain and hope it doesn’t actually turn up. There should be no moon tonight either.

I spent 2 and half hours trapping on the River Waveney bank near Beccles (Norfolk side) with the best catch so far this year. Caught up on some of the earlier species missing so far such as Streamer, Flame Carpet, Purple Thorn and Pale Prominent which were all new for year. Also another 11 nice fresh new ones for the year – Brimstone Moth, Pebble Hook-tip, Green carpet, Balsam Carpet (4), Waved Umber, Brown Silver Line, Small Phoenix, Cabbage Moth and micros Cochylis atricapitana, Epinotia immundana and Diamond-back Moth. 28 species in all and about 50 moths. After April’s poor results it was like an oasis in a desert! I don’t think it’s going to last.
