I expected no moths this morning in the trap seeing as we had a frost last night but clearly those that arrived decided the warmth of the lamp was more than just a light attraction.There were few, namely the usual Hebrew Character,Oak Beauty,Small Quaker and new for year my first Early Grey.
I went to Odiham with little optimism but was surprised the find 2 Dotted Border,2 March Moth, my first Shoulder-stripe of the year and a another version of the variable Clouded Drab 1.
All in all after a cold night I was very pleased with the result.
For the purist the Comma butterfly is still in its resting position of yesterday and is well.
