Catch Report - 23/02/12 - Farmland/Back Garden - Hertfordshire

A little cooler last night with slightly more wind evident. The catch once again blew all my expectations away with only my 3rd ever Early Moth and new for year singles of Common Quaker and Small Quaker.
I shall be having a break over the weekend and back to trapping on the Monday.

    You're killing it at the moment Ben!- after recording Early Moth for the last 2 years, I seem to be struggling this year..........

    Thanks Matt, I am super lucky with my habitat, Early Moth is always a rare beastie, despite lots of thickets of Blackthorn here...perhaps it does not come to light much?
