Right on que for March

Yesterday it was a mild and balmy 12 degrees with little wind but unfortunately plenty of rain! The temperature did drop to 5c this morning and the wind had increased so I wasn't expecting much if anything at all, so I was pleasantly surprised to find 6 moths in and around the trap.
Four of them were March Moths (They must have knew the date) and incidentally four is the most i've trapped in one sitting in the garden.
