I feel the season has not quite worked out as planned mostly due to the weather, and of course when it does something else happens as it did for me three days this week when I was entertained by the NHS, so talk of the georgeous weather and what I was going to do somewhat didnt materialise. Out of the bad comes something good so I had no negatives about the experience apart from feeling restricted by recovery.
I have however been putting out the trap and still finding common moths are more of a rarity this year than normal and numbers not as high as previous years.
Many are reporting the same, so here are some of the moths that appeared in the trap this morning as I get mobile again.

Keeping up with the tradition of showing moth additions to the website supplied by Tim Norriss who had had some very interesting trappings of late and to whom I express much appreciation both from quality and quantity of shots, so many thanks Tim.
