Catch Report - 20/03/12 - Farmland/Back Garden - Hertfordshire

Another really mild day and as it started to cloud over in the afternoon, I thought it would stay like that for the evening to raise the temperature a bit.
It wasn't to be as the sky cleared and the tempreature plummeted to 2c by the morning with another sharp frost.
The catch was very pleasing though and surprised me somewhat.

Red Chestnut was new for the year and Shoulder-stripe was new for the garden.
The garden still hasn't produced a Yellow Horned yet or any Pugs.

2 more Lead-coloured Drabs brought the year total to five of this local moth.
