19th May 2012 ... Rumours of warm weather abound

Dust off your bikinis, I'm hearing that temperatures of 20+ degrees are on the way for the coming week !
Last night was no indication tho, 7 deg, but feeling more like 3 or 4 in the chilly NE breeze, not to mention the drizzle that accompanied it later in the night.
In short, the weather has been diabolical.

  1. Hopefull some warm muggy nights will encourage much better trapping - it's been so uneventful for my MV so far!
