April Moths (2 Viewers)

All sites in north-west Dorset.
A cooler night of late, down to 4 deg at home, 22 moths of 10 species, with two Red Chestnut and a Red Twin-spot Carpet. At Berkley Wood to actinic: 38 moths of 13 species, the highlights being Streamer, V-Pug, Scorched Carpet and two Lunar Marbled Brown. At Holm Bushes to actinic: 27 moths of 11 species, the best being a Purple Thorn and three Frosted Green.
 
I seem to have gone back to March conditions. Only one early thorn last night. It wasn't that cold and there was no moon so I don't know where all the moths have gone.
