Clear skies last night and down to 11c this morning, but with thick cloud cover and light rain on the patio come 5am, some places got full water butts overnight locally, whereas we got nothing! It must have been a rather brief shower.
Just 22 species were present, but a pleasing 6 species were added to the year list.
The first Silver Y of the year turned up as I was turning in for bed, it was extremely lively even this morning!
Even cooler tonight, might not be worth it but who knows!
Only new species for the year listed.
Moth garden list for 2026 stands at 165 species
