Temperatures hit a low of zero degrees last night and only 8 moths were recorded in and around the traps.
My third ever Streamer was a good Dells moth and it was nice to get a Dark Sword-grass as I missed it last year.

    Nice early migrant! I had quite a few in last May, including Pearly Underwing, Small Mottled Willow and Small Marbled....but I think where I use to live was on a migrant inter-cepting route (high up with no other lights around)
    Slowly falling back on garden species at the moment, but Streamer rescued me this morning.
    Happy trapping!

      PU, SMW and SM would all be garden firsts for me. Matt has had SMW twice in his garden and he is only 3 miles away as the moth flies so I live in hope.
      2 Muslins and a Powdered Quaker kept me ticking over this morning, with Common Q, Small Q.
      Those Orthosia's are here for the nice summer we are going to have !
      Ever optimistic ;)
