From the garden trap

I trapped last in the garden on Wednesday night, and haven't tried since because i've either been out on trips or the weather has been absolutely ridiculous for this time of year.
Today for instance was 3 degrees at 11am with flurries of sleet infact parts of Lincolnshire this morning woke up to an inch of snow!
I did manage a healthy 18 moths of 7 species including a year-first Grey-pine Carpet which took a lot of coaxing to flatten out for a photo!
Hopefully will try trapping again on Sunday night.
