I had a single moth on the outside of my trap this morning. It is rather faded, but based on size and shape I think it is an Early Moth. The forewing was 16mm. I would be grateful for a second opinion.

Hi Dave, thank you for putting me straight. Now that I have looked it up, I can see straight away that it is a March Moth. I think I missed it because no one else had reported seeing a March Moth. From now on, I will pay more attention to the excellent file "common moths through the year" compiled by Martin Harvey, which tells you which moths to expect each month.
Hi Steve, it is indeed rather faded but that's a March Moth.
