VC24 Olney North Bucks. Finished the night on 34/19 with 3NFY, a battered Feathered Thorn wrapped up the night. The Mottled Umber being a full moth earlier than I’ve ever caught one before. The Swallow tail being the latest I’ve ever caught one.

VC24 Olney North Bucks Only 22 moths but the Clancy’s Rustic is a life moth for me. I’m also pleased with the Mallow which I catch in low numbers.

VC24 north bucks Any thoughts on ID it looks like a Light Crimson Underwing. We do get Red Underwing within 1/2 a mile of my location.

Well much much better last night 59/34. Figures are now looking better on all counts against last year. Star of the show for me is this Platyptilia Gonodactyla plume moth. A new moth for me that doesn’t often get recorded in a garden like mine.

Moths are still in short supply with these cold nights. Last night 2/2 Lime Hawk Moth and Angle Shades. First HM of the year. Strangely both of these moths are early for me I don’t normally see them for another two 1/2 months in the garden.

Moth trapping this year has been even worse than last year so far. So I decided to cheer myself up and try a lure for an Emperor Moth I didn’t have to wait long.
