A dying wind, good cloud cover but a temperature of only 7 degrees was borderline for finding any numbers of moths yesterday evening. So it proved to be with a trickle of around 30 moths coming to the traps over a period of about 2 hours. Not very good for 4 traps in mid-May. I recorded just 16 species including a few tired looking Brindled Pugs and Orthosias plus a few firsts-for-the-year of Pale Tussock, Pale-shouldered Brocade, Coxcomb Prom, Lime-speck Pug and Syndemis musculana.
It doesn’t look to be getting any better over the next few days!
