Recent Garden Mothing

The moth traps have been out for the last three nights (after a lengthy dormant spell in late May again!). I've also got the synergetic running again at long last, almost a year on from when it got knackered by Nichola during a bizarre shed incident. Catches still poor though overall, though garden leps. yearlist now up to 86.
