Wednesday 1st 

The slightly cooler nights with a big moon continue to keep the trap quieter. Last night there were 156 moths of 54 species. This did include two second records for the Observatory- a Toadflax Pug and a Double Kidney.

There were also four Small Mottled Willows, three Rusty-dot Pearls and 15 Diamond backs.
