11th March 2017

An Oak Beauty as the first moth of the year is not a bad way to start. Not much else, although Grey Shoulder-knot isn't particularly regular (first record here and perhaps my 4th or 5th in Cottenham. After not trapping last year in early spring, Common Quaker is also new for the garden - somewhat of a guaranteed species this time of year.
