An excellent night here again with 347 macros from 44 species. Nothing unusual and no migrants at all. The totals included 48 Small Square Spot which appears to be continuing the good year it had last year. This total is as many as I caught in total all year between 2003 and 2007. I also had 55 Heart and Darts which also appears to be recovering from the two previous poor years. Although they are not as exciting to find in the trap as many of the migrants I guess that good numbers of common moths are more beneficial to the ecosystem as a whole.
I also saw the first of hopefully many Scarlet Tigers in the churchyard here at Norton Sub Hamdon.
