All Quiet on the Western Front

Despite running my trap quite a bit recently it has all been somewhat disappointing, with the number of species recorded seemingly reducing at an ever increasing rate – which I attribute to both a lack of tree cover and the reduced pulling power of my 11w actinic. The odd clear night and new moon hasn’t helped either. The only highlights so far have been singles of Bulrush Wainscot, Red Underwing, Rusty-dot Pearl and Rush Veneer. The latter, and the chance sighting of a Clouded Yellow on the outskirts of the village yesterday, gave just the smallest of hints that the odd migrant is still reach these parts but, alas, the much hoped for convolvuli still eludes me.
