Low numbers again

Last evening I went to a nearby site where I usually get several Birch Mocha about this time of the month, so that was the target moth. I ran three traps for 2 hours with just 18 moths of 15 species turning up and some of these I netted because they were not coming to the trap. Just 2 new ones for the year, Common Wave & Syndemis musculana but no Birch Mocha.
It was cloudy, the temperature held at 10 deg. and I expected more than this. Numbers are still very low.
