Still cooler than predicted by those folk on the weather channels. It's barely got above 8 degrees this weekend with a biting North/North-East wind, it's felt much colder.
Subsequently, there have been no moths to any of the lures in the garden bucket traps this year yet (But it's still very early).
I ran my trap on Saturday night as it was dry, but the temperature fell away again to 5c.
The main reward was a great Pale Pinion, a moth I get annually but usually just one per year.
I also got this cracking Carabus granulatus, spotted by my Son.
I will try again tonight, after having last night off.
The temperatures are set to rise here in the East, which will be very welcome.
