Several nights of cool, windy evenings reduced catches drastically. Some improvement last night resulted in just over 200 moths of 67 species. Five were new for the year: the first Plain Wave since 2007, an early Svensson's Copper Underwing, confirmed by checking the underside of the hindwing, the 2nd garden record of Aethes rubigana, Least Carpet and The Clay.
