Whitefield Corner, Wiveliscombe - minimum 4 degrees

At last better weather encouraged us to put out the trap for the first time in February and we had our first Early Moth for 2009 and yet another Winter Moth - it has been a good season for them.

On an ornithological note - During the cold snap we have seen a number of Wrens going to roost in a House Martins nest under our eaves. Last night they started to arrive at 5.40 pm. and I counted a minimum of 12 and I probably missed some in the dusk.  Most fly directly into the nest but some climb labouriously up the pebble-dash wall - they must be squashed in there!
