Slim pickings in the cool clear moonlit conditions.

I was hopeful that it would possibly be a reasonable night for trapping last night with the cloud cover, but, alas, not long after dusk the cloud disappeared. My 2 traps running in the garden were pretty empty, especially the 125w. 30w twin actinic in the more sheltered part of the garden so probably why it had more in it. 12sp in total, nothing caught in double figures. New for the year included Pebble prominent and Iron prominent (singles). Water carpet, Least black arches, Nut-tree tussock and a Great prominent added a bit more interest. Common quaker (6) and Hebrew character (3) still going. My first trap effort since the bumper catch on the 10th due to the cool, clear and sometimes very frosty conditions.
