But then it could related to where the trap was.... too many variables!

It is always worth experimenting with moving traps around to try and find a better position and, as you say, it can vary depending on the weather as somewhere relatively sheltered will normally be best. I haven't yet had a chance to sit down and work out which species came to which type of light in my garden (a job I'll get around to eventually)but from memory a few did seem to show a preference when both traps were run together. For example I think I had many more Large Yellow Underwings to the actinic than came to the MV. Glad to see you got L-album Wainscot as that's been on my watch-list for a couple of years and your sighting is the closest yet to me that I've heard of!
