Apart from the 4th of February where I had a Spring Usher to the kitchen windows I haven't
bothered to run my trap as it just hasn't seemed worth it, until last night!
Bad news first though...the new led streetlamps along the
bridleway at the back of my garden are on all night! (I was laying in bed last
night conjuring up ideas of 'dimming' them and the best I came up with was to
attach a car sponge to my 9 metre fishing pole and paint them brown like they
have been mud splattered...it's a plan) The good news though I actually had
some moths to count this morning and no less than an average year at this time
of year (so maybe I shouldn't worry about these new led streetlamps)
Species count for the year up to 8.
