Last week of May at IGC.

Tried trapping twice this week, both times the wind seemed to pick up at dusk probably reducing the expected low numbers caught to even lower than I would have thought. Quite a few empty egg trays (apart from chafers, they still seem to be around in reasonable numbers!). Still, nice to pick up a few more first for the year: Syndemis musculana, Scoparia ambigualis, Brown rustic, Shears, Light brocade, Peppered, Lime hawk, Seraphim, Spectacle, Buff tip, Flame carpet and Marbled brown. Caught a worn Clouded drab too last night, so the odd Orthosia is still hanging on. 15sp on the 29th (one trap), followed by 24sp last night (2 traps).
