Managed to wade across the sodden garden yesterday evening and get the trap out of the shed. After several damp days with heavy rain at times, our garden is pretty much flooded out at the bottom end. Although the forecast wasn't great, I was determined to at least get the trap on given that it was meant to be a rain-free night. It was, and there were a handful of moths in the trap, but the best moth of the night actually popped up by the 20W actinic running in an old outdoor light fitting on the front of the house ....
Oak Beauty - the first garden record since 2015
(though that's almost certainly due to the lack of spring trapping in 2016/17!)
Other than that, there were just a few of the usual suspects including the first Clouded Drabs for the year (showing how late everything is in my garden this spring).
Clouded Drab - a slightly cloudy one
Clouded Drab - a very drab one!
