Well it's been rather changeable and still quite mild, but all that is about to change as we are looking at getting our first frosts this weekend of this side of christmas.
I haven't bothered running my trap recently as it's been too wet and windy and little has been showing in these parts.
Here are a few highlights from the start of the week.
Best moths were a smart new for year Musotima nitidalis on the 8th, at least 8 Merveille du Jour over 3 nights and a seldom seen here, Oak Nycteoline.
Other goodies included my latest ever Bucculatrix bechsteinella and a smart Dark Chestnut (sadly, like the Oak Nycteoline, not a new addition to the 2023 list).
Tuesday and Wednesday next week might be worth a shout, we'll see.
