Another very warm night last Saturday, so much so that I decided to go out on a field trip to an undisclosed wood here in Cambridgeshire, more on that in the next post.
I returned home at 2am, absolutely frazzled, and decided to shut down the garden trap, rather than getting back up again at 4!
A huge amount of common moths around, but obviously less than if I had left it on for a few more hours and I probably missed some early on as I was already out before lights on.
All the new for years were potted up and photographed the next day then released.
4 species were completely new for the garden, fantastic!
I'm now 5 species off of 400 for the year, I wonder what the yearly total will be... 271 to beat last years total currently!
Only new for year species listed below.
