Where's every one gone? This thread's gone very quiet.
I was a bit disappointed with a catch of 347 moths of 45 species last Saturday night - after an extremely hot day, then quite good cloud cover overnight, I thought I might have exceptional numbers. I didn't have anything new, but several were firsts for the year and a Red Underwing was the first I'd seen in Kensworth, taking my garden list to 359 species.

Excellent find that Hedge Rustic I was on holiday in Devon last week and still haven't gone through my remaining photos. Have only done 1 trap at home since being back, will probably set it again tonight. Certainly getting quieter though. Nige |

Rather damp last night but I put the trap out anyway.
Copper underwing
Orange swift
Small square spot
Square spot rustic
Willow beauty
Large yellow underwing
Some of the egg cases were wet, so I assume we had a light rain shower in the night.

It was wet here too, hank, and quite cool as well. I only had 73 moths of 16 species, but that included my first Cypress Pug, which is still a rarity in Hertfordshire (it wasn't recorded here until 2012, and there haven't been too many records since).
