Numbers increasing

Ran the traps (125MV & actinic) last evening for about 2 hours with over 80 moths counted of 11 species. The weather contributed, as cloud cover held till about 8.30 with virtually no wind. New ones for the year were A. alstromeriana, Dotted Border, Clouded Drab, but still no Small Quaker or Small Brindled Beauty. March Moth seems to be at its peak at the moment.
Yellow Horned again showing up in good numbers with another 4 last night and my records showing that already have recorded highest numbers since I began recording 6 years ago, probably due to the mild weather giving more opportunities to trap.

    Good going Brian,
    I haven’t had traps out yet but picked up Double-striped Pug at the Kitchen window last night.
