At last an evening that looked promising enough to put the traps out. Just 34 species and about 100 moths was the result with 4 new for the year, Brown Rustic, Small Clouded Brindle, Small Square-spot and Anthophila fabricana – nothing to get very excited about but at least better than an empty trap!
Looks like more blank nights coming up if the forecast is anything to go by.

Very poor here, only 4 species plus Nemophora degeerella by day.
Two very windy nights I shall miss but forecast a little more promising Sunday before another spell of heavy rain!
I too took advantage of what has been the only remotely suitable night for trapping for a while. Getting a bit repetitive now but again a disappointing catch for the time of year. 46sp, 133 moths, nothing unusual or exciting really for the site in two traps, some empty egg trays and some with only 1-2 moths on.
