Rather damp but not too much squib

Better than expected overnight, with showers  and temperatures dropping to 7 degrees.

10 moths of 5 species was rather good for early February away from suitable habitat.

March Moths were my joint earliest record for the garden, and the Hebrew Character was 1 day earlier than the earliest ever recorded.

We go again tonight, and that might be it for awhile.
