Brian and I set out the five traps and just as we had done so light rain began, meaning that Brian didn’t turn on some of his lights until after the rain stopped about 45 minutes later due to no rain protection. Even so a better night than we had both expected with the initial forecast of clearing and cold. Cloud cover remained for the duration and we left just after 2pm.
Some nice moths amongst the 76 species including
Alder & Puss moth, Elephant, Eyed, Poplar and Pine Hawk-moth, Flame, 4 Silver Y, Clouded-bordered Brindle, Small-Clouded Brindle and 2 Flame Wainscot! Clouded Border almost equalled Green Carpet for the prize of most abundant moth of the night
