Hi all,
Out of hibernation at last. The last two nights it has stayed a half decent temperature till mid-late evening due to the cloud cover remaining longer than forecast. Unfortunately I didn't take full advantage on Sunday night. However, last night, despite dropping to -0.3C late in the night before it clouded over and started drizzling just after dawn, there were a few moths around.
Sunday, 5th: 3 moths of 3 species - March Moth, Pale Brindled Beauty, and Dotted Border.
Monday, 6th: 28 moths of 8 species
March Moth (1)
Small Brindled Beauty (1)
Pale Brindled Beauty (5)
Oak Beauty (1)
Sprong Usher (1)
Common Quaker (1) - new for year |=)|
Satellite (6) - I'll send you some up Brian!!
Chestnut (12)
It will be interesting to see if the Quaker totals can match last year's at
Small Quaker (31st Jan) - 1,757
Common Quaker (3rd Feb) - 1,229
All the best
