Morning All
A decent catch last night. It was good to see some nice fresh moths
instead of the worn tatty ones I've been getting lately.
A Silver Y was the first in quite a while, they seem very thin on the ground this year.
Also where have all the Green Carpets gone? Only caught 8 this year, this time last year 38.
Has anyone else noticed a decline this year.

Re: Fresh moths at last
Hi Greg,
I first caught Green Carpet here in 2007. Numbers were then low single figures, but in 2013 I managed to record 15, although I had blanked in 2014.
In the last 3 years I have had 11, 10 and 12, but none this year (yet). Still hoping though.
Recorded one of those pesky Six-striped Rustics (NFY) last night, but as predicted I didn’t get too upset about it.
