A poor catch for this time of year especially as the weather appeared quite useful. Our local Soprano Pipistrelles were out in force early on but judging by the results in the moth trap they would have struggled (unless they munched everything in sight befoire it got to the trap of course....).
Just 10 moths of 8 species with a few expected (and common locally) species new for the garden:
[16] Brown House Moth
[17) Agonopterix arenella
[18] Bee Moth
[19] Double-striped Pug
[20] Garden Carpet
[21] Waved Umber
[22] Muslin Moth
There was the second Swallow Prominent of the year and no apologies for posting another photo of that species below.
