More new spring species at IGC.

Like others I too ran traps last night, up in the work-shed woods. A good count of 16sp noted, but no moth was what I would class as abundant in the traps, commonest was March moth with 14 caught. Orthosias still not really in the kind of numbers I would expect at this site yet. New for year records included Engrailed (1) and Amblyptilia acanthadactyla (1). Small brindled beauty still being trapped but in low numbers for here, 8 noted. 6 Yellow horned and 5 Oak beauty added a bit of colour to the trap contents.
Also saw my first Orange underwing for the year flying around Birch in the warm sunshine just after lunchtime.
