Species List for 17/4/2011

Looking though past years the catches I'm getting at the moment are typical for the date, and every year I feel some what disappointed hoping for more! In 2007 I did catch several Pearly Underwings in the first half of April, this was after the big influx in the second half of 2006. Apart from that the lists are pretty standard. Yesterday saw three new for the year, Nut-tree Tussock (second earliest I've had here), Shuttle-shaped Dark, the earliest since 2007, but only by a day or so and Muslin Moth, again 2007 was the earliest I've had but this year is about average.
