Still very quiet and far too cold

Cold and just rather bleak lately, so i've barely run the trap although that looks set to change from mid next week!

The last two nights have been very slim pickings, adding a Shears to the year list on Thursday night, and a Grey-pine Carpet last night, hardly inspiring stuff.

There were no micros on either night, showing just how the cold temperatures really puts off the smaller moths, with lows of 4/5 degrees on both nights.

Hopefully milder nights now, but a few wet ones incoming.

 

Moth garden list for 2026 stands at 180 species
