Using a 160w MBT Robinson setup and 40w hanging Actinic along with a vertical hanging sheet and 2 ground sheets, I placed the Robinson one side of the sheet and supported the Actinic the other side of the sheet.
The weather wasn't great and persisted with showers and strong gusts but eventually did settle at about 10pm, mildish evening between 4 and 6c.
The catch was as follows and was surprisingly good with a few early species noticeably March Moth, some brilliant variations of Spring Usher and some pretty Dotted Borders too
