Apres Moi, Le Deluge ......

Apres Moi, Le Deluge ......:

Morning Folks,

I've no real idea why I put the trap on last night ...... history dictates that the chances of me catching anything in November are slim (just 22 species since 1991 !) so given the almost constant, heavy downpour throughout much of the night and early morning it wasn't too much of a shock to find the trap empty apart from a healthy amount of rain !

Unless there's some balmy evenings beforehand, I reckon I'm done now until March. Species trapped in December, January and February here in Elton number three, three and three respectively, so we batten down the hatches and wait for Spring. Assuming there are no more sessions in 2017 its worth mentioning that it did end up being a lot better than 2016, with more species and more individuals by far than that dismal year.

Cheers,
Steve
