The weather aided and abetted by the forecast are making life difficult! I didn't run traps yesterday (14th) as the forecast was for torrential rain from mid evening onwards. Only light rain appeared and it could have been a reasonable night. The night of the 15th was very blustery and only a few moths appeared. However, a Privet Hawk-moth was new for the year.
