Night of 6th May at IGC – a slight improvement.

Bit better numbers in the IGC traps last night, probably because I was running lights up in the woods. Still not great however, but nice to get some firsts for the year – Nut-tree tussock, Knot grass, Shuttle-shaped dart and Early thorn. Other bits and bobs amongst the 13sp included Lunar marbled brown (4), Frosted green (6), Brindled beauty, Red chestnut with the only micro being Eriocrania subpurpurella (7 noted, down from the high of 365 seen on the 24th April).

    I tried again for 2 hours last night (the 7th), before the change in weather arrives. Each night brings a different mix of species. I was pleased to fill in a couple of gaps in the site list with my first records of Lunar Marbled Brown and Oak-tree Pug. Also Waved Umber is regular at the moment.
