Another ''Reasonable'' Night.

Post by melbellingham »

Only 14 moths of 9 species last night (17/10/2019 - 7.9 deg C min), but a Figure of Eight NFY found on the wall early evening and another found this morning was a good start.

Hi Mel

164 Tachystola acroxantha here this year, including one last night. The most I have had is 233 in 2016.
Barry Shaw used to regularly catch 350+. His best year was 2014 when he was catching 70+ some nights in May and ended up with 620 for the year.

Regards
Steve

Hi Steve,

I first posted my Tachystola acroxantha results before the end of 2016, which finally ended up as my best year.

An updated copy of my totals up to and including last night attached.
