Moth Trapping

This afternoon I set off up the road to Hatfield Forest, the forecast was very mild and at just before 4.00pm it was registering 10c
I set up the trap and sheet and ran the Actinic for an hour to see what turned up.

Within 10 minutes I had 6 Winter Moths

15 minutes - my first fresh new season Satellite :)

at 4.30pm the count of Winter Moths had reached 26 and 1 Satellite

at 5.00pm the total count was 72 Winter Moths, 1 Satellite and one Northern Winter Moth, which was very very good indeed, I thought that trapping for just one hour would give a good indication as to how prolific this habitat can be.
