Nice camouflage photos, Angus. It took me a while before I saw the feathered thorn in the last pic! You're still catching some fine species, interesting to read your lists.

I would trade my moths for this :eek!:

Some of this cold air is arriving here to Ireland though warmed up a lot, won't bother with traps for a while.

We got 30 cm snow yesterday with a storm, and I had to drive in that weather...
