Still windy and changeable

But, last night was the only night that it's been relatively calm for a while, and with minimums of between 6 and 8 degrees I was hopeful of a good catch.
Well it wasn't ground-breaking to say the least, but it did include a year first Red Chestnut.

Monday saw two further Pammene giganteana to the FUN lure, and also one turned up today.

I'm hoping it might be worth trying again tonight, we'll see by the morning.
