Better.....17/05

Feeling that Trent was starting to get the better of me again. I quickly dusted off the 2x 25w FUL Skinner and put it in a favourable position down the bottom of the garden. It faces west and is approximately 100ft away from my usual east facing trap near the house. Five new for the year is a great improvement.

229 Monopis obviella
This was a 1st for the year, 16th May.

 Mottled Rustic
Almost overlooked as a Pale Mottled Willow!

 Buff Ermine

 Common Marbled Carpet

 Clouded Silver
4th record this year.

 Maiden's Blush
2nd record this year.

 Middle-barred Minor

 1301 Crambus lathoniellus
Many more to come I would say......

  1. Five for the year at this stage is good going, Matt. Should be doubling that at least, next month.
