Moth Starvation........

In the last few nights I seem to have hit 'the wall'. Only 1 new species from 4th- 6th August, at this rate Trent will run away with it. Even with two traps running numbers were really low, hampered no doubt by lower temperatures and a gusty westerly wind. Still, there's always tonight.....
