Cwmllwyd 14 April 2015
I put out both traps last night: the little actinic in the wetland (where it wasn't very successful - only 7 species of common early spring moths) and the MV in the alder grove. The MV attracted 71 moths of 14 species, with 3 FFY. These were Brindled Pug and 2 migrants - Silver Y and Dark Sword-grass, singles of each. I'm quite happy with that, for we're not best placed for migrants up here on the north side of the mountain.

Still worth it to get those migrants - apart from Mel`s hummer, the first for the year. I did consider doing the home trap last night but was feeling `variably grotty` with a lingering cold - not had one all winter (and boasted about that fact) and then, on comes a cold! That`ll teach me not to boast.
