Porky Pies!
In my last post ( "Last chance before the storms!" ) I implied that that would be my final attempt until the predicted monsoon has passed. That was disingenuous, for as the temperature rose and the wind dropped, I came over all enthused and had to trap again last night! 47 species (with some tricky ones still to do) and 8 FFY was the outcome; making a total of 59 species and 19 FFY over the two sessions - that's not at all shabby for up here! Hot picks for the night were:
Almost forgot: Grey Birch.

The Lobster is probably hairy because it's cold on the mountain, nice moths, I'm jealous of some you've caught.
ReplyDeleteYou`re doing well Steve.I`ve never seen a lutestring! Well done again.
ReplyDeleteI must make a rain shelter for my trap/s.....it`s perfect again tonight and there`s striped hawk-moths out there! I must buy a house on a hill, install MV lights throughout and remove all the glass in the windows...houses are cheap in Llanelli!
I`m not trapping - sadly - wish I was. I will - finally- blog tomorrow.
