After nearly a fortnight of very cold nights and zero moths in my garden, last night stayed at a balmy 7 degrees and 16 moths arrived in the trap - 10 December Moths, singles of Red-green Carpet, Winter Moth and Dark Chestnut, and 3 Epiphyas postvittana.

Similar result here in Westcott, Bucks last night too: E.postvittana (1), December Moth (2), Winter Moth (7) & Feathered Thorn (2) along with quite a few yellow dung flies. The weather looks promising for the next few nights as well.
