SP9326: W/Ending 27/11/11 - Scarcely anything...

Tuesday night saw a Tmin of 0.3 Celsius, not before a Scarce Umber  was found on the Heath trap - the 'Ratface' Skinner was drying out from the previous night.... The only other moth was a rather worn specimen of The Chestnut.

SP9326: 20/10/11 - Red-line Quaker

T.min was 3.5 Celsius, but from 01:00 the temperature rose quite quickly to 7.8 by first light.

Conspicuous by its absence so far, Red-line Quaker was new* for the garden. The Blair's was rescued from a spiders web, luckily it seemed too cold for the web owner to emerge.
