I have only just got round to posting about my catch on Sunday. Since then I have only managed to trap one more time (last night) Both times have been quite succesful with new moths so I am quite happy.
The good thing about this time of year is that it doesn't take over an hour of sorting before I go to work, this morning took just 10 minutes.
Here is the list from Sunday night, which included 5 new for the year moths. 5x Large Ranunculus were nice to see and I am still getting a flutter of migrant activity with the odd Turnip Moth and a Nomophila noctuella.
Also I trapped a really tiny Common Wainscot, which was smaller than a 5p!
Pictures aren't great as I was fighting with the light.
Edit: Nomophila noctuella is a garden first, so really pleased
