Noticeable drop in moth numbers

A very disappointing count of just five moths in the Bawdsey traps this morning. This compares to 400 moths just a week ago!

Mottled Umber appeared three nights ago (first for the season) and a few Feathered Thorns and November Moths about recently.

Still hoping to catch Scarce Umber and Sprawler before the season is over; and maybe a Red-headed Chestnut.
