I am sure several of us are plugging away at home at the moment. As a result, I thought that I'd add a few results from my Clevedon garden during the last ten days of lockdown.

Common Quaker
Small Quaker
Hebrew Character
Clouded Drab
Chestnut

All the best

I don't normally start until May but in the circumstances I have had the trap out for the last six nights. hardly worth it though, with a total of just 13 moths of seven species.

Early Grey and Small Quaker were NFG due to me not bothering this early before.

My London garden is too over-looked to run a trap, so it's nice to see what others are getting.

Some great moths there. An early Mocha? Looking at lots of Facebook & Instagram mothing sites this is the first Mocha photo I've seen.

Sadly my mothing is part of a collective effort so no mothing for me at the moment-just drooling over others catches.

A few April records in the local Atlas. It is a stronghold locally.

Best of rest:
