Is it me, or is this year never going to get off the ground? Trap results in the garden continue to disappoint but at least I made it into double figures last night. That said, it was a case of one of this, one of that. New for the year were Swallow, Lesser Swallow and Coxcomb Prominent, Grey Dagger, Waved Umber and Garden Carpet. Am also still getting the odd Hebrew Character (2 on 17th) and Muslin Moth.

No it’s not just you. The year seems to be crawling along. Apart from my migrants in the short warm spell things have not been very exiting and total numbers have been low. Diversity hasn’t been too bad. Yes I am still getting Hebrew Character but other Orthosias seem to have tailed off. Some of the latest new for the year have included Coleophora albicosta, Notocelia cynosbatella, Scoparia ambigualis, White-pinion Spotted and Marbled Minor. Might improve later next week if the long range forecast is correct. Poor year so far.
