[QUOTE="luke, post: 1466340, member: 18637"] I arranged a few weeks ago to have another mothing evening at RSPB Nagshead, but didnt know the weather forecast at the time. On the way there we were hopeful as the weather seemed to calm down with very little wind and a nice bit of sunshine during the evening. We were all set up by 9:00pm but the moths were really taking their time. After looking at the Thermometer, we were pretty sure we knew why there weren't many moths about. It was bloody cold! By the time we left the temp had fallen to just 1.5C with light frost forming on the car. Thankfully one moth saved the night. We had talked about the possibilities of this species coming in tonight but we weren't hopeful of seeing. It was 11:22 when a large moth flopped onto the path near the trap, i went running over and knew straight away that we've got a Great Prominent! A what a superb moth it is. It made the night worthwhile. Anyway our list for the night went like this: Great Prominent 1 Hebrew Character 22 Clouded Drab 7 Common Qauker 6 Brindled Pug 4 Water Carpet 2 Red Chestnut 1 Heres a pic of the great prom [/QUOTE]
