First mothing at IGC for a while.

Ran 2 traps last night, first time this month, mainly due to a lack of enthusiasm in the first week because of the poor weather and I was on holiday last week. Nice to see an improvement, with more moths and species caught. 42sp seen, nothing too spectacular but nice to see Small elephant, Green silver lines, Ochreous pug. Also disturbed quite a few moths during the day today whilst working as well, a good sign that numbers are getting going. Saw a number of Crambus lathoniellus (50+), Large yellow underwing (first for year), Lychnis and 3 Silver Y.

With some more warm nights forecast this week hopefully things can only get better.
