2011 Mothing Update

After the best part of a week in Sevilla, a constrained intervening weekend, a family holiday last week including Isabelle's 16th birthday, and our 12th wedding anniversary last weekend (yes, cart before horse!), I've not had any chance to generate anything exciting to write about. In lieu of anything else, this evening I decided to get the moth records up to date - not that the traps have been out much, and when they have I've just run the Synergetic/CFL combo. Having updated the records and lists, I find that at the moment my 2011 garden list stands at 388 species (with an additional 7 pending gen det) and my overall British 2011 year list stands at 621 species (with an additional 10 pending gen det). It's actually been a pretty good year for the garden with 6 new macros (+1 pending) and 17 new micros (+6 pending). Probably not too many garden trap nights over the next few weeks .......
