A good night's trapping with 22 moths of 7 species and 5 ffys . 2 Oak Beauty , 1 Pale Brindled Beauty , 3 Satellite , 2 Common Quaker ,1 Small Quaker being the ffys . Also 4 March Moth and 9 Chestnut .
Moths at last! Two Hebrew Character to MV last night. Nothing visiting the winter-flowering Honeysuckle or the Viburnum at night yet, although honeybees have been on them during the day.
Having seen the previous night the underside of a moth on glass ( not accessible to positively identify though) I ran a trap last night and was rewarded with 2 Chestnut plus 1 March Moth ffy .
