 Four traps, a 125W Robinson in the Back Garden, a 125W MV Robinson in the Greenhouse Garden, a 15W Actinic in the Front Garden, and a 80W MV Skinner in the Pond Garden. A bit of an odd night weather wise. Early on it was cold, about 9 deg C at 1900hrs with a brisk N wind, up to around 15 mph.  Through the night the wind  move to WW and then W  and the temperature steadily rose to 15 deg by 0700hrs. There were more moths than yesterday, but not back to before the front came through. There were 111 moths of 25 and two NFY. No mega rarities, but I did have a few visitors twitching the content of my fridge in the last two days.
