Leaving the light on for well over 12 hours, I was hopeful of the first moths of the year and voila! No less than 59 moths of 6 species graced the sheet. of all those recorded only 1 was actually in the trap!
The list included many slightly early Spring Usher and a few melanic Pale Brindled Beauties.
Subsequently all moths were new for the year!
