Stocking Wood.

Sent from my iPhoneHaving been granted permission to run the moth trap in the private woods known as Stocking Wood, I set out at dusk to place the trap. With the temperature hovering around 4C I wasn't too optimistic. Having set the trap up I had a brief wander, netting my first Dotted border of the year. I returned at 8.45 to collect it and netted an Early moth as I wandered along the footpath. On the trap was a Winter moth, whilst inside was a pristine Satellite.
This habitat has great potential so I plan to run traps here frequently throughout the year. Satellite and winter moth shown here.
