June 8th Red Hill
Summary : Overcast, very mild and breezy. Temperature dropping to 12.5C. Trap was run from 22:15-00:15h. Large numbers of both Middle-barred Minor and Silver-ground Carpet dominated the sessions trapping in meadowland. The site was initially chosen in order to potentially lessen the numbers/species arriving at the trap, but the night proved to be incredibly busy throughout. A good westerly breeze, saw the majority of moths arriving at the light, flying into the wind. Some eight new species for the area were trapped amongst a very varied catch list. Total catch consisted of 553 moths of 43 species.
