One to remember! A wet day followed by a mild (min temp 12.3 deg C) but dampish night. A surprise in the form of a new micro, Tinea semifulvella, was overshadowed by a new macro, a Golden Twin-spot. According to the literature this moth doesn't arrive until later, but with such a strange year almost anything is possible.In total there were 116 moths of 44 species, two new for the site and seven more new for the year.
