Lat night's weather was forecast as very wet, and lived up to expectations. I ran two traps, my Robinson,because it is pretty rain proof, and my new 125W box trap, cobbled together using an old set of electrics and a Bexley Council waste paper box. Unexpectedly, after two days, the Clifden Nonpareil reappeared. It will be released further away tonight.The 63 moths of 17 species included the first Sallow of the year.
