Whitefield, Wiveliscombe - Min Temp 5 degrees

It seemed colder - perhaps our thermometer is too sheltered from the North-westerly ! However we had two certain firsts for the year Common Carpet and Shuttle-shaped Dart and a probable Horse Chestnut - rather pale and still to be confirmed.  Interesting how almost all the Somerset records of this moth come from VC5. Up to now I have only had one in ten years.
