Another warm(ish) night at around 12-13 deg C untill dawn when it fell to about 9 deg C. Mainly cloudy with a gently SW breeze. (details from Langdon Bay Weather station which is about a mile away). A red letter catch with a new species for the site and for me. Also the most moths and species I've caught on a March night.
