I'm not sure what I was expecting by putting the trap out last night, as it was very wet and windy. Previous conditions have produced very low numbers of moths, and unsurprisingly there were low numbers again.
However in amongst the 11 moths of 8 species there was a new moth for my Port & Wey Moth List and a new for the year moth, bringing my garden total to 53 species since 16 April.
