With the clear sky here last night, it went quite cold overnight so catch was again low at seven moths, two NFY in Cinnabar and Campion.

Its grey here this morning (again - so much for the forecast wall-to-wall sunshine) and numbers up in the trap plus some new species for the year.

Garden Carpet
Shuttle-shaped Dart 10
Heart and Dart 2 NFY
Willow Beauty NFY
Peppered Moth (pale individual, I do get dark ones too) NFY
Light Brocade NFY

No complaints about that little bunch! Year list now at the dizzy heights of 29.

Grey here in rural Surrey too although it was clear overnight. Seem to have had diminishing returns over last 3 nights after a good haul over Friday night with this morning being a measly

3 Treble Lines
1 Lobster Moth
1 Swallow Prominent
1 Great Prominent
and a Cockchafer

Empty trap this am ☹️ however a single Garden Carpet high on the wall was compensation...just!

More cockchafers than anything else this morning. Nothing new for the year, a rather dark May Highflyer has me head scratching for a bit though.

I think Oak-tree Pug, not sure yet. Then just my usuals in last couple of days - Shuttle-shaped Dart, S. Hebrew Character, Vines Rustic, Pale-Mottled Willow, Common Pug and those little micros - Tachystola I think.

Walking around our local country park this afternoon encountered Burnet Companion & Small China-mark.

This morning disturbed Crambus lathoniellus.

30/05. 20 moths of 14 species. Mostly repeats of previous nights , but new were Heart + Dart, Large Nutmeg and Common Marbled Carpet.
Never having had Seraphim before I've now caught it on four nights (bit like buses).
Had a Pyrausta aurata on my patch today as well, nfy.
Not a moth but saw 4 Ant Beetles there too, one I have wanted to see for years, beats the little black jobs as it is rather spectacular.
