Finally the nights have got warmer, following weeks of cool evenings and weather dominated by a northerly airflow.
Highlights in the moth trap this week include two Dewick's Plusias and a Pale Tussock with a supporting cast of the more regular Shuttle-shaped Darts, Pale Mottled Willows , Common Pugs etc. The Beddington moth year list is now on 50, most before March and then after the April dead spell is beginning to climb again this week.
