Summary[edit] Description: The ball starts rolling again Very slowly though, but it really is lovely to see moths again, after some bitterly cold nights and wet and windy evenings. Last night was quite mild at around 8 degrees but breezy..luckily the breeze as predicted dropped down by the morning. At 7.30am I inspected the trap.nothing, then the sheet behind it..nothing then the surrounding area and BINGO! A moth and the third species for the year a stunning green-hued Pale Brindled Beauty. Roll on nearly three hours and as I go to photograph the PBB, I noticed a moth on the patio door which I must have missed in the morning gloom. A Tortricodes alternella was observed and made it 50% extra free! Hopefully will be trying again either tonight or tomorrow night as this warm air prevails for the next few days at least.
