I went to Cornwall for a few days birding with my mate and managed to do one two hour moth trap on Tuesday and my mate managed the same on the Sunday (in-between the rain showers). Some good moths were caught, although not too many moths were trapped overall. I thought you would like to see a few of them, some are firsts for the
Gallery.
