Good moth numbers

Set the trap in neglected, overgrown woodland last night, in good early evening temperatures that hovered around 10C. As has been the case, clouds dispersed and it was 3C by 9pm.
Returned about 9.30 to find a common Quaker and Agonopterix heracliana on the sheet. Not promising. However, plenty in the trap: a further 9 common Quaker, 2 small Quaker and 2 clouded drabs, shown above.
This haul took me past 200 moths for the year, 18 macros and 6 micros. Pretty good so far.
