I trapped on a site 5 miles from Keith alongside the river Waveney and received a soaking!
But it was well worth it as it turned out to be the best evening so far this year with 55 species and over 200 moths recorded before heavy rain set in just after midnight.
Nothing out of the ordinary, but 17 new for the year included White-spotted Pug, Orange Footman, White Pinion-spotted (I only recorded 1 of this species last year) , Grey Pug, Currant Pug, Buff-tip, Light Brocade, Brown Rustic, Scorched Carpet, White-point and first Hawk-moth of the year which was Eyed. A few new micros included C. atricapitana & A mitterbacheriana.
The last 2 traps (of 4) were inspected, logged and put away in pouring rain and the equipment and my clothes are still drying out. Apart from that, conditions were ideal.
