SP9326: 26/08/12 - Catching up

T.min: 10.3 Celsius

Cooler nights now resulting in a much reduced catch. However, this has enabled one to clear the August back-log of data entry and blog work, which ultimately makes it simpler to send in the recordset to the BNHS at year-end. How do those cope with multiple traps/sites, eh?
