Well after having a few days off to let the Moths 'settle' it was back to getting up stupidly early and all seemed worth it with 4 new species including a new Garden record.
The weather looks set to improve this coming week with temperatures predicted upto 26c, so should be absolutely ideal for Moth trapping in the evenings.
Also I had confirmed yesterday by my County recorder David Allen that the two Moths that I suspected were Dark Brocade were indeed that species, being only the 13th & 14th records for the county.
