Due to work and time constraints, only ran one mv trap at home in the garden last night. Was pleased to record a good number of moths in the trap today, including what I thought was an impressive count of Tree-lichen beauties – 12 in all. This moth seems to be going from strength to strength in this area. Anyone else noting good numbers of this species?
Also had a Small mottled willow with very bright orange spots, my first of that species for a couple of weeks. Still waiting for my first Bordered straw for the year here, send some inland all you coastal trappers

Low numbers of Tree-lichen Beauty here at Bawdsey this year – slowly picking up – think it must be running late.
Another 9 caught last night (11th) in 2 traps, away from the trap site where I caught the 12 so different moths.
