Catch Report - 29/02/12 - Farmland/Back Garden - Hertfordshire

Leap year night and so March is already upon us...how quick has this year gone already!
A very good night moth-wise with high numbers again, best moths were my first spring reecord of Grey Shoulder-knot and a single Small Brindled Beauty.

A rise from 2 (from the previous night) to 10 (this morning) Hebrew Character's was of note.


One more night of trapping for me tonight then i'm having the weekend off.
