SP9326: 15/06/11

A low of 12.5 Celsius, with a slight breeze. A full Moon and a total lunar eclipse would have been visible if it were not for the blanket cloud cover.  The best catch of the year so far for both numbers and variety.

The two new* to the garden were Scythropia crataegella (Hawthorn Moth) of which there are fifty-four records since 1983 when it was first recorded in Bedfordshire, and Broad-barred White.

450* Scythropia crataegella
