Come the morning it was still trying to rain but was relatively mild at 7 degrees.
I didn't really expect 13 moths in and around the trap!
8 Tortricodes alternella's made up the bulk of the catch.
The best moth had to be the pretty little Acleris cristana, a garden first.
The 3 new for year Micros bump the species tally up to 8.
Edit
Whilst giving the garden a weed, a quick scout around the garden fences yielded another 5 moths! 4 Dotted Border's and 1 Emmelina monodactyla.
Another two new ones for the year!
