Dave came round this evening dead chuffed with himself. Another new moth for his garden (Dusky Sallow) and what makes it worse was I found it as he asked me to clear his trap down because he was busy. He had over 650 moths of 68 species and that's not including the ones that got away before being identified. It seem this weather has given plenty of moth-ers a good catch. I managed 44 species of 147 moths with my second record of Nutmeg being the most note worthy.
Only garden birding done today with Sparrowhawk, Buzzard and Lapwing over and Coal Tit on the feeder. Hedgehog roaming around garden last night.
