It being the first day of the year I wondered if anything might come to the trap so I put out the 40w actinic this evening just before dusk without much confidence as the thermometer was already showing 4deg. and under a clear sky. Meanwhile I walked down to the nearby copse with the torch to see if anything was on the tree trunks. Searching for 20 mins. all I found was about 10 male Winter Moth and the trap had still produced nothing by 7pm so I put it away.
So a quiet start to the new year which hopefully will give us some better weather for mothing than 2012. Wishing you all the best for the 2013 season.
