A little better than the last two nights (single figure counts - unpublished) but still pretty much the same suspects. Noteworthy was the sixth occurrence here of the immigrant Pale Mottled Willow.

Amazing how some moth occurrence patterns vary over such a short range despite their clear mobility. (not including the habitat specialists of course). I trapped 64 PMW in my Luton garden in 2011. Andy
