Typical; after a week of cold, clear nights, the one night where there is good cloud cover and temperatures in excess of 12C and I have an early start for work!
Spent time at the trap until 11.30pm and then a quick check at 6a.m. was worth the effort, with several more noteworthy specimens turning up. A mallow was first for the year, 193rd macro for 2014 whilst an
Acleris rhombana was new for the garden, if not the parish.
Also; copper underwing, beautiful hooktip, garden carpet and common marbled carpet were good along with the regulars, such as
Acleris variegana, lunar underwing and large yellow underwing.
