Still a bit dank in these parts, grey cool and gloomy, with heavy showers and mizzly rain.
With no sun again today it has felt rather cool and the temperature sruggled to get to 10 degrees.
Last night was cool and very breezy but some moths still ventured out.
The best moth of the night was found at around 8pm on the side of the trap, an Agonopterix species and not the usual heracliana or alstromeriana, a year first subpropinquella and ony my second garden record, result!
This morning there wasn't anything to write home about bar another Twin-spotted Quaker (Which seems scarce here so far) and a mint Double-striped Pug on the fence.
It looks set to get cool now for maybe a week, which is a shame. With sunnier dryer days, it may just be warm enough for some more dusking during next week.
