Not bad for a wet windy night

Post by Greg »

Morning All

Because it was a warm night I thought I'd risk the wind and rainy weather and put the trap out.
Glad I did.
20 moths of 14 species.
1 Merv
2 Green Brindled Crescent
1 Straw Dot
1 Snout
2 Yellow-line Quaker
3 Blair's S k
1 Red-line Quaker
2 LYU
1 Barred Sallow
2 SS Dart
1 November agg
1 Black Rustic
1 Copper U agg
1 Carcina quercana

Still no nice migrants yet though.

Another good catch, with Grey Pine Carpet; Juniper Carpet, Figure of Eight & Grey Shoulder-knot all first of the year and a very late Gypsonoma dealbana.

Not too bad here either, but with either of Steve's Juniper Carpet or December Moth I would have reached 200 macro species for the year. A total I have only managed once before, so I'm optimistic (very unusual for me) that I could attain a new high macro count this year.
