4 species on my list so far for this year, starting with Mottled umber and Red-green carpet on the 3rd January, both flushed by day at work. Have also run a trap, on the 8th. 5 moths caught – 2 Spring usher and 3 Mottled umber. Also had Winter moth at the kitchen window. Not expecting to see much more for a short while now with cold coming.
Good luck to all over the coming year, let’s hope it’s a good one.

Don’t get many Spring Ushers here. Winter, Mottled Umber, Acleris ferrugana and Epiphyas postvittana so far. As you say it doesn’t look good for while now though.
A mild night here a couple of days ago produced 4 winter moths, three chestnut, a dark chestnut and a mottled umber. Spring usher is a rarity with me.
Wind and snow this afternoon, just to keep the season honest.
