I think the title more or less sums it all up pretty well at the moment and as a result of those frosty nights the moths are staying away.My trap had three moths this morning one of them being a new for year species,namely the Brindled Beauty a rather splendid looking beast.
I went over to Odiham and low and behold there was a second Water Carpet to record.When I realised my photos of the Early Tooth-striped were below standard I decided to take another shot although this individual is possibly the one I saw yesterday.
