Still waiting for an improvement, but the downward trend continues. Their were 149 moths of  62 species and two NFY. Not a single of yellow underwing of any species was an oddity.

Species List for 20/07/2026

 My Four traps, a 125W Robinson in the Back Garden, a 125W MV Robinson in the Pond Garden, a 15W Actinic in the Front Garden, and a 80W MV Skinner in the Greenhouse Garde, plus a portable Actinic trap  on loan from Sam Perfect. Annoyingly the sock "blockers" for the back garden sinner were accidently left inplack, so there were pon;y about 19 moths on the outside. It would have been a poor night anyway, with a cold night, and the other traps not very active. There were 142 moths of  54 species.
