A wander down to the moth trap l night gave first garden views of a toad in the pond. I only completed the pond project a week ago, planting moth friendly plants around it, so really pleased it attracted an amphibian so quickly.
A warm night meant a good selection of moths. Of the regular species were 5 common quakers, 5 hebrew characters, 3 small quakers and 4 clouded drabs. Also, new for this year, an early grey, a double striped pug and micro moth Agonopterix alstromeriana.
Also, less usual, a satellite and oak beauty. In all 24 moths, best total so far this year.
