After a five day rain delay (worse than a test match in May)a reasonable forecast encouraged me to put out two traps. 57 moths of 19 species was a reasonable return and a Dark Chestnut was new for the year. A birding walk along the cliff top today revealed hundreds, if not thousands of Rush Veneers in the grass.
