Away trapping

I have permission to trap regularly at ten "away" sites in Bucks this year but have only managed visits to six of them during May because the nights haven't really been good enough.  Sitting in cold, wet meadows or woodland for hours on end with little to show for it isn't that much fun, especially when this is supposed to be a hobby!  Hopefully we'll get some much warmer nights in June.  I've been prioritizing visits to sites in our under-recorded 10km square SP82 and last night (29th) I did manage to fit in a trip to a location near Soulbury in what turned out to be reasonable conditions (breezy but only a bit of drizzle and temperature still 14C at 2am).  Fifty species between two MV traps in the usual three hours was actually quite an acceptable return.  There was nothing particularly unexpected but the fresh Green Arches shown below was a very welcome sight:
