Yabba dabba doo – I hit the magic centaury with 103 species in my garden traps for the first time ever due the overnight temperature not dropping below 15c. Around mid-night both Muntjac and Fox could be head calling. A grand total of 431 moths trapped while Dave managed 590 moths from 88 species with a few still to identify. Naturally Bob was in his element helping with the recording, identification and photographing of them with the possibility of at least 4 new micros for Dave’s garden list.
Still not 100% so gave the pond a miss and watched the boys flogging there guts out around the French countryside.
