My first moths of December were two Mottled Umber and a Yellow-lined Quaker attracted to pub lights this evening in Clevedon.

Bear in mind the legislation that exists in a lot of countries and I'm sure you will have a fantastic experience and see some wonderful moths.

I don't normally bother in December but we had a smart electricity meter fitted on Tuesday and I wanted to see how much the 125W Robinson cost to run. About a penny an hour as it turned out.
Hi Nick
The law is possibly a bit vague and it can easily be open to interpretation. It mainly concerns collecting, which can include just the use of a net or either of the two methods you describe. It is possibly less likely to be enforced if you are running a light from an apartment/hotel/or villa than out in the wider countryside
As far as Spain is concerned one has to have a permit from each of the autonomous regions that you are visiting. However, permits for some regions are almost impossible to obtain. I've also heard that having asked for a permit, and retained a copy of the application letter, this can be used even if you failed to get a permit (i.e. just the act of trying was sufficient for the local police).
There's a useful website here: http://www.theskepticalmoth.com/collecting-permits
