On 30/9 we ran 14 traps between 5 of us, but numbers of migrants were very low. It might have had something to do with winds gusting to force 7 and torrential showers! Migrant totals were;
Diamond-back x 1 Rusty-dot Pearl x 7 Rush Veneer x 11 Turnip x 2 Dark Swordgrass x 1 Pearly Underwing x 1 White-speck x 23 Convolvulus x 4 (with 3 of these at ginger lillies) |
