End of April ups and downs.

My first post for a while as I’ve been on holiday. The end of April for me has been a time of ups and downs in moth trapping, with a high of 40sp seen on the 28th and a low of only 6sp the following night after a day of rain. The continuing theme of earlier emergence than previous seasons was also evident, with species like Poplar hawk, Nutmeg, Turnip, Seraphim, Flame carpet, Grey birch and Pammene albuginana all caught. Orthosias still appearing with Hebrew character, Clouded drab and Common quaker trapped in small numbers. Prominents showing well at the moment too. Nothing new or too exciting caught but nice to get a good mix of species. With 124sp so far for the year for the site it has been a good start.
