Warm but windy and wet

With southerly winds originating from Africa it seemed to me that last night it would definitely be worth running the trap despite the potential for damage in 40mph gusts.  Preparations included bricks inside the trap to hold it down, bungees to keep the cone in place and tape to keep the rain-shield attached.  The trap survived the night perfectly well but was it worth it?  Probably not for the one migrant, a Silver Y!  34 moths of 16 species in total.
