Silver-Y here this morning to 125w MV

NMN in back garden. Far too cold. Only 9 moths of 5 species including waved umber.

NMN event at Ventnor Botanic Gardens. Cold, not much happening so packed up before midnight but Rob Wilson had a Portland Ribbon Wave to 40w actinic

NMN 15th May 2010
Stupidly cold out there. Ran 3 MVs at 2 sites, but turned them off at midnight. The two woodland traps totalled 23 species, nothing interesting. The suburban garden MV had 2 moths in it.

A reminder that tonight is National Moth Night, with the theme of Moths and Bats.
