After a haul of 90+ species just under 1 month ago, I did expect a fairly good catch. But in 2 1/2 hours we only managed 22 species. Conditions seemed to be good, although temperatures had been fairly low over the previous few nights. That said there were a few highlights- one being getting home at a reasonable hour!
