Cold and slow

Still very slow here, 6 moths of 6 species on Monday night... really really bad for nearly June but we are still stuck with NE winds constantly, it's dragging me down a bit! Thank goodness for the net and hawk like reflexes.

2 moths however were year listers, a mint and lively Large Yellow Underwing and a playing dead chunky Buff-tip.

Things improved last night here, but only marginally.

 
Moth garden list for 2023 stands at 167 species
