12th Sept 2013 ... Rained off, mostly

Colder wetter weather for a week, it's like someone threw a switch and said, " You've had a good summer but that's yer lot mate". Tonights weather is appalling so no traps.
Still a few Large and Lesser Yellow Underwings, Square-spot, Flounced and Vine's Rustic and Shuttle Darts.
Turnip Moths and Pale Mottled Willow numbers are healthy.
Green Carpet and Small Blood-vein add a bit of colour to the tired looking brown moths.
Last night looked promising until the rain spoiled proceedings but a Red Underwing ignored the conditions and settled on the garden shed above the 15watt blacklight sometime in the early hours ...
