I have just checked my totals for last night and it was my most productive night ever for different macro species. I had 89 different types and 598 individuals. Despite the lack of migrants this year appears to be heading for one of the best for a while from my observations. It was especially pleasing to see large numbers of less usual moths like 16 V Pugs and 23 Buff Arches.

• Is it possible that the lack of migrants here, despite what appears to be good conditions, is that they are still suffering on mainland Europe from the last two years and there is no surplus to migrate at the moment?
